Renault denies talks to boost AvtoVAZ stake

October 28, 2010 06:01 CET

PARIS (Reuters) -- Renault denied it was in talks with Russia's Troika Dialog about purchasing the bank's stake in AvtoVAZ, Russia's largest automaker

The Russia Today television station had quoted Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn as saying Renault and alliance partner Nissan are planning to buy the bank's stake in AvtoVAZ, giving the alliance 45 percent of the maker of Lada cars.

A Renault spokesman said on Wednesday that there were no talks taking place over the purchase of Troika Dialog's share in AvtoVAZ.

Troika owns just over 20 percent of AvtoVAZ, which makes Lada cars, while Renault has a 25 percent stake.

Renault and Nissan plan to build their own models at AvtoVAZ's sprawling Togliatti plant.

Demand for cars in Russia is growing again after the crisis sparked a slump in car sales last year.

AvtoVAZ returned to profit in the first half of this year, making 3.1 billion rubles, helped by state aid and a market upturn. It suffered a loss of 19.6 billion rubles in the same period last year.

  • GMC Upsizes the Acadia for 2024; New 2.5L Turbo-4

    GMC caused a stir in 2016 when it downsized the Acadia in 2017 from its previous near-Yukon length. That downsize brought the Acadia down to be inline in size with the contemporary Jeep Grand Cherokee.  In the years since, the Grand Cherokee has grown and GMC is matching that with the 2024 GMC Acadia. Inches matter in this class and in that the Acadia gains (back) 10.6 inches in length and 3.2 inches in height. That equates to 80% more space behind the third row and 36% more space behind th

    Tonight at an event ahead of the Detroit Auto Show, Ford unveiled the updated 2024 Ford F-150.

Ford expects to double the mix of hybrid a
