[Russian Deputy Prime Minister: 11 of Russia's 13 "Abandoned" Car Plants Have Resumed Production] Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov stated that almost all car plants left behind after foreign automakers withdrew from the Russian market have resumed production. According to Manturov, as of today, 11 of the 13 car plants have fully resumed production, with the remaining two scheduled to start in 2026. Manturov emphasized that these plants are systematically filling the market gaps left by the withdrawal of Western brands. He cited Volkswagen's Kaluga plant as an example, which now produces the Russian brand Tenet cars and has a complete production cycle including welding and painting. The Russian company Soles has also quickly converted idle capacity to produce its own models.
