Somewhat earlier, the company announced a possible transition to a four-day week starting May 19. It was assumed that the reduced schedule would continue right up to November 18 of this year, which was due to a possible drop in the number of cars produced. The limitation of production was linked to a violation of logistics, underdeliveries of components. From the very beginning of political upheavals, a situational headquarters has been functioning at the plant, reacting to changing conditions for continuing production.
Over the past month, April, GAZ sold 1892 units of commercial vehicles. Compared to 2021, this is 61% less. In terms of the number of cars sold, the company ranks fifth in the country's market.

It can be an onboard version of a car, a minibus, an all-metal or a combined van. They also plan to produce Sobol NN, a car weighing 2500 kg, which will be officially presented at the Comtrans international exhibition this year.
There are still enough components in the warehouses of GAZ. Photo: YouTube.comIt is planned to release special equipment on this base. Despite the difficulties associated with the supply of components and falling demand, the plant remains afloat. Motorists have their own opinion on this matter:
Now the summer season begins and the demand for commercial vehicles is increasing dramatically. We can say: GAZ was lucky in this regard

Apparently, there are not so many electronics in GAZ commercial vehicles, or they are Russian-made. Although it is difficult to judge: maybe the plant managed to make solid stocks of components in advance or has already agreed with the Chinese

It's all about leadership - they created an operational group in time, which, without waiting for decrees and resolutions of the Government of Russia, conducts the necessary activities: it is looking for new suppliers, or maybe sales markets, somewhere it negotiates with someone
- Grigory L. Sh is sure.
Well done "gas workers", they do not complain at all: they say, this is bad, it's not so, they just do their job and moreover professionally. It should also be taken into account that many Western companies have left the Russian sector of the market. And commercial cars are clearly not enough. The carriers again turned to the "old friend" - GAZelle. The Chinese so far in terms of "price-quality" can not offer anything of the kind. GAZelle is a familiar car, and there are always spare parts
- sums up Andrey Mikhailovich L.
