"AvtoVAZ" will manufacture engines Opel

Only just started production "Chevrolet Niva" under the joint venture of General Motors and "AvtoVAZ" and Americans are already plotting other projects. The media has long roamed the rumors that the next model, the production of a joint venture will be Opel Astra. Head JV "GM-AvtoVAZ" John Mylonas, finally dispelled the rumors: the question of the production of Opel is considered, but, according to Mylonas, it will not be a car, and so far only engines. It is reported NTVRU. According to Milonas, the establishment of a new joint venture in Togliatti for the production of Opel engines can be resolved in the next year. He did not mention the amount of possible investment in the project, but said that if a positive decision, the WHA will produce 200 thousand German engines per year. These engines, as suggested by Mylonas, will be staffed by a car JV "GM-AvtoVAZ" (first of all - export version of the "Chevrolet-Niva") and of the JSC "AvtoVAZ". Now Opel engines are placed on a modification of "tenth" family, but if the production will be adjusted at the factory, it can make the WHA with the German motor is much more affordable and widespread.
