Duster release in Tolyatti postponed due to need to pay Renault

“The arrangements are such that we have to pay royalties to Renault – royalties for each sold Duster. If we master the Duster, then these payments will be calculated from the total sale price of each car. If the car is sold for a million, we have to pay regarding 4% – which is 40 thousand rubles. If the price of the car is two million, then it is already 80 thousand rubles. In terms of the total production volume, this is a lot of money, ”said Sokolov, answering a question regarding the possibility of producing a Duster crossover under the Lada brand.
