Chinese car manufacturer Chery could soon launch production at a former Volkswagen factory in Kaluga, to the southwest of Moscow, Kommersant reported on Thursday citing sources familiar with the matter. The newspaper also revealed that a deal to sell the Russian assets of South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor was almost complete.

據Kommersant報道,中國汽車制造商奇瑞在位于莫斯科西南部的卡盧加的一家前大眾汽車工廠很快將要投產。該報還透露,韓國汽車制造商現代汽車在俄羅斯的資產出售交易已接近完成。

Volkswagen, along with other major foreign auto manufacturers, suspended operations in Russia last year as Western countries imposed sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine.Its flagship plant in Kaluga, with capacity of 225,000 vehicles a year, sat idle while the German automaker was trying to sell its Russian assets.

去年西方國家因烏克蘭沖突對俄實施制裁,大眾汽車和其他主要外國汽車制造商暫停了在俄羅斯的運營。其位于卡盧加的旗艦工廠,年產能為22.5萬輛汽車,在德國汽車制造商試圖出售其俄羅斯資產期間一直處于停工狀態。

Currently, Volkswagen is applying to the Russian authorities for approval to sell its stake in Volkswagen Group Rus, which includes the plant in Kaluga with more than 4,000 employees, “to a trustworthy Russian investor.” The firm has not given details on the deal, but media outlets have named Russian car dealer Avilon as a possible buyer.

目前,大眾汽車正在向俄羅斯當局申請批準將其在俄羅斯大眾集團的股份出售給“值得信賴的俄羅斯投資者”,其中包括擁有4000多名員工的卡盧加工廠。該公司尚未透露交易細節,但媒體稱俄羅斯汽車經銷商Avilon可能是買家。

The deal has not been affected by a legal dispute between Russian automaker GAZ and Volkswagen, which resulted in the freezing of all Russian assets of the German automaker, according to Kommersant.

根據《商業報》的報道,俄羅斯汽車制造商GAZ和大眾之間的法律糾紛并沒有影響這筆交易,該糾紛導致了這家德國汽車制造商在俄羅斯的所有資產被凍結。

In March, GAZ claimed that Volkswagen’s withdrawal put its operations at risk, and filed a lawsuit seeking 15.6 billion rubles ($201.3 million) in damages over the terminated contract.
Chery has been in talks with Russia about localizing production since last summer, and is now reportedly set to launch car assembly at the Kaluga plant.

3月份,俄羅斯汽車制造商GAZ聲稱大眾的退出使其業務處于風險之中,并提起訴訟,要求因終止合同而遭受的損失達156億盧布(2.013億美元)賠償。據報道,長安汽車已經與俄羅斯就本地化生產進行了談判,現在據說準備在卡盧加工廠開展汽車裝配業務。

Hyundai, which also suspended production in Russia last year, may sell its manufacturing unit in St. Petersburg to an auto-related company in Kazakhstan. The deal is in the final stages, and could be signed as early as June, the outlet said.

去年也暫停在俄羅斯生產的現代汽車,可能將其位于圣彼得堡的制造工廠出售給哈薩克斯坦的一家汽車產業公司。該報道稱,該協議已進入最后階段,可能會在6月早些時候進行簽署。
