Russian plant begins production of Opel cars.
Opel Vektras will be produced according to the same plan that YelAZ used in its production of Chevrolet Blazer jeeps, Zaripov told Itar-Tass. At first, the plant will only assemble the cars using German-made components. More than 160 Russian plants have already agreed to cooperate with YelAZ, Zaripov said. The first lot of cars will be equipped with two-liter engines, complete electrical package and air conditioning, Zaripov said. Plant officials refused to specify the car's price, but in Moscow it amounts to 28,900 US dollars.
