Institution Moskvich is going to switch to full-cycle production. It involves welding and painting of bodies, as well as subsequent small-scale assembly, which involves more than 900 component positions, while the current large-scale assembly has only about 50. A new robotic welding line has already been installed at the plant and welding and painting processes have been tested. The crossovers Moskvich 3 and Moskvich 3e will move to the full cycle: pre-serial production for the full cycle has already begun, and the full transition is scheduled for the next couple of months.
An updated crossover will appear on the Russian market by the end of the first quarter. Chery Tiggo 4 Pro. Moreover, the first to be released will be a special version of Tiggo 4 Pro 18 years edition, dedicated to the 18-year continuous presence of the Chery brand in Russia. The main update will be a modified interior, which has not yet been shown, as well as revised equipment. There will be five trim levels to choose from. Now Tiggo 4 Pro costs from 2.1 to 2.6 million rubles.
Russian representative office of the company JAC announced the certification of towbars for its pickup trucks. Moreover, the towbar is included in the Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) not only for the currently sold T8 and T8 Pro models, but also for the outgoing T6 pickup. This should significantly expand the versatility of JAC pickups.
Italian body shop Zagato is preparing to present its new creation called AGTZ Twin Tail. This is a GT supercar that will pay homage to a certain unnamed “Le Mans icon.” The blurry teaser shows off a low-cut silhouette with sleek, streamlined shapes, and the name hints at a “double ponytail.” The car was created in cooperation with the Polish supercar dealer LaSquadra, and its own slogan has already been invented for it: “One car, two souls.” AGTZ Twin Tail will be completely declassified on February 21 in Milan.
Concern Stellar The latest major automaker to announce the transition in America to the NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging connector developed by Tesla. It is curious that in its statement the global concern did not mention the original name of the connector anywhere, preferring the formal designation SAE J3400, and even Tesla itself. The first to switch to the new connector will be the yet unknown “selected” models of the concern for the 2026 model year.
And alone Tesla reported on the sale of carbon dioxide emission allowances: in 2023, they brought the company $1.79 billion. These environmental quotas are needed for dirtier automakers that do not comply with emissions regulations in the US, EU, China and other countries. Electric cars do not emit carbon dioxide during operation, and since Tesla’s range consists only of them, the company accumulates a significant “carbon credit”, which it sells off. In total, since 2009, Tesla has implemented environmental quotas worth $9 billion.
Also today we talked about the Abarth 695 75° Anniversario hatchback, the modernization of the Audi S3 and the Chrysler Halcyon concept.
