Yes, according to "Vedomosti", the shareholders of AvtoVAZ want to see Nicolas Maure, the president and CEO of the Romanian brand, as the head of the Russian auto giant. There is no official information yet.

It is known that one of the key reasons for this choice is the "affordability" of cars produced by Dacia, which are close in ideology to Lada.

The head of Rostec (one of the shareholders of AvtoVAZ), Sergei Chemezov, believes that the former president Bo Andersson focused on foreign suppliers of parts and components, which, in his opinion, led to colossal losses.

Recall that the contract with Andersson expires in December 2016, but the shareholders decided to terminate it early. The successor will be officially announced on March 15.
