Belarusian passenger cars – this is what local import substitution looks like

Many Russian drivers know that Belarus has established production of its own passenger cars cars. They are already sold under the Belgee brand, including in Russia. However, this only sounds loud, but in fact our neighbors have established a regular assembly. And the cars differ from Geely in nameplates and a different splash screen on the multimedia system panel. But threatening words about localization and import substitution are heard periodically. They say that Belgee engineers are working tirelessly, looking for partners. And it seems that there are such in Belarus, but the process is still slow. Its details can be found out by watching a video on the CTVBY channel.

So, the BELGEE plant looks solid. Workers are scurrying around everywhere, assembling cars. Wait, where is the full-fledged production? Foundry, metalworking and other shops? There is none, which means that we have a standard assembly in front of us. But they have learned to make silicone pipes in Belarus. True, all the machines are Chinese-made, but who pays attention to such trifles? Where the silicone comes from - this information is also kept secret. And yes - so far the pipes are used only by manufacturers of trucks and tractors. But for passenger cars, they say, electronics have already been developed and are even being tested on prototypes. When all this will go into production is still unknown.
Do you think that Belarus will be able to make its own passenger car?
