HÀ NỘI — Russian automobile maker Sollers plans to start assembling UAZ cars in Việt Nam in 2018, said Vadim Shvetsov, director general of Sollers, at the International Industrial Trade Fair INNOPROM 2017 in Russia. I think the first phase of the project is to export automobiles assembled in Russia to Việt Nam, then transfer technology,” he said. Following this, Russian automakers Gaz, Kamaz and Sollers have drawn up proposals to establish factories to assemble and produce cars in Việt Nam. Under the plan, the Vietnamese plants will produce buses, trucks, specialised vehicles, light commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade said their automakers would get a duty-free import quota for automobiles and car parts.
