The former General Motors plant in St. Petersburg is preparing to launch production of Chinese Omoda and Jaecoo crossovers. The site in Shushary, which previously belonged to GM and Hyundai, is now at the disposal of the AGR holding.
New opportunities for the Russian car market
The plant actively posts vacancies for new employees, including production line operators, paint and assembly shop technicians, body geometry inspectors and automotive component purchasing specialists.
- The Shushary site will produce Omoda and Jaecoo crossovers, but under new names - Onvis and Jeland.
- The launch of production will most likely begin with large-unit assembly.
The popularity of Chinese crossovers
Earlier, SPEEDME.RU wrote that Omoda C5 crossovers and S5 sedans are most often purchased in white. Owners of Jaecoo J7 and J8 prefer black, and the flagship Omoda C7 is more often chosen in gray.
The importance of the plant for the Russian car market

Experts predict an increase in demand for Chinese crossovers in Russia.
