Russia to promote Aurus vehicles in Turkmenistan
Russia intends to promote Aurus cars in the Turkmen market. The procurement proposal is going to be prepared by the Ministry of Industry of Tatarstan. About it informs TASS with reference to the accusation of the Prime Minister – Minister of Industry of Tatarstan Oleg Korobchenko on the sidelines of the Russian-Turkmen business forum.
According to Korobchenko, he thought about it when he went to the forum, and the Russian delegation was overtaken by a motorcade of Mercedes: “I am driving and thinking, why do they drive Mercedes? Although the Aurus is much better quality, it is import-substituting and completely produced in Russia, the friendly country of Turkmenistan.”
The prime minister of the republic demands, having returned to Tatarstan, to talk with the state-owned enterprise that produces Aurus.
“We need to meet with Turkmenistan and make an offer that cannot be taken from. These will be our Aurus cars, armored and ordinary in the sedan class, ”Korobchenko details.
He also noted that in Tatarstan they began to assemble a new Aurus car model – Komendant. “Literally on February 28, there will be a presentation of this jeep in Tatarstan. It will be in Tatarstan at the collegium of the Ministry of Industry of Tatarstan,” Korobchenko said.
Aurus cars are a line of executive cars, which has been created since 2013 by order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The project involves the collection and production of cars to replace the fleet of official cars of civil servants, and for sale.
Since May 2021, cars have been mass-produced at the Aurus plant in Yelabuga. Now you get the Aurus Senat sedan and the Komendant SUV.
Last December Aurus headed Andrey Pankov, who served as General Director of the ADV advertising group.
