Pavlovsky Bus Plant (PAZ) has suspended operations due to a sharp decline in demand for heavy vehicles. The company is closed until at least August 4.
During this period, the plant will carry out restoration and repair work, and all 2,600 employees are on corporate leave.
In April 2025, PAZ managed to sell 392 buses, and in the first quarter, 1016, approximately 330-350 buses monthly. At the same time, in July 2024, more than 1.5k vehicles rolled off the assembly line, and at the peak of production in the 80s, the plant produced up to 16.5k vehicles per year.
Earlier it was reported that AvtoVAZ, KamAZ, and GAZ will temporarily switch to a four-day work week due to falling sales.
