Putin in visita al "IzhAvto car plant"..un po' la nostra Termini-Imerese

[Gekko89]

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visits the IzhAvto car plant to examine the situation and work out solutions to quickly resume full-scale car production
The republic’s head and I have discussed IzhAvto and we think it is the brand of the republic and of Izhevsk: everyone is used to the fact that cars are produced here. The only thing we need is to make these cars modern, and increase their popularity on the market so that people want to buy them.”


During his visit to Izhevsk, Vladimir Putin visited the Izhevsk car plant IzhAvto, which had resumed production after several months of a standstill caused by company's bankruptcy. The Prime Minister talked to the workers and looked at car models that the plant will produce.

Transcript of the meeting with the plant workers:
Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon.
Remark: Good afternoon, Mr Prime Minister. We are glad to see you.
Vladimir Putin: I am glad to see you too, especially on the occasion of the plant's reopening. There used to be 5,000 workers before the closedown, and now there are 2,500 workers here.
Remark: We hope there will be enough room for us.
Vladimir Putin: I have just talked to the plant's head and the management of the bank, which is the plant's main shareholder: there is every chance not only to reopen the plant, but to reach the pre-crisis level as well and to move further. We are working on this issue.
Congratulations!
Remark: Thanks for coming.
Remark: Thank you. We hope that your visit will bring a long and bright future for us.
Vladimir Putin: I would like the plant to develop, to establish new platforms, and it must have a good strategic partner.
Remark: Are we going to work with AvtoVAZ? Please tell we are going to work with AvtoVAZ!
Vladimir Putin: Where is the director general? There he is (points at Igor Komarov).
Remark: We really want to work with you. As long and as closely as possible.
Vladimir Putin: You see, it (AvtoVAZ) gave a part of its production over to you. Of course, these cars are not new, but it was important to restart the enterprise to make it resume its work. It's easier for an operating plant to negotiate with a strategic partner. This is very important.
Remark: We really love our work. Just give us some work, please.
Vladimir Putin: I understand.
Remark: We have been waiting for you for four years.
Vladimir Putin: We will move forward together. This is a good enterprise.
Remark: We also like it very much. It's like a home to us, and we don't want to change it.
Vladimir Putin: The republic's head and I have discussed IzhAvto and we think it is the brand of the republic and of Izhevsk: everyone is used to the fact that cars are produced here. The only thing we need is to make these cars modern, and increase their popularity on the market so that people want to buy them.
Remark: We will probably make new models in the future.
Vladimir Putin: Absolutely. AvtoVAZ has been able to share some of its production volume because of our car scrappage programme. As you see, these are classic cars that are popular within the car scrappage programme.
Remark: We understand that.
Vladimir Putin: This cannot continue indefinitely, and so new models should start appearing after the first stage, after the launch of the enterprise. I would like to emphasise that the plant needs a good new reliable partner that could bring such models here. You will need to come to terms and sign agreements with them. One possible alternative is AvtoVAZ, but there are other options too.
Remark: We hope so.
Vladimir Putin: I congratulate you once again. Have a nice day.
