Then, in the period from July 26 to August 15, the company goes on a corporate vacation and will not produce cars at all. “We were planning a corporate vacation, and we are going on it. Each year these are the same dates – the last week of July plus the first two weeks of August. Lada cars will not be produced at all AvtoVAZ sites at this time, ”the company representative explained. Thus, the production of the Granta family will resume only after 25 days.
