Japanese automobile concern Isuzu, which has production facilities in Ulyanovsk, is considering the possibility to stop producing cars in Russia following Toyota and Mazda. In 2018, Sollers Auto and Isuzu signed an agreement to create a parity JV - Isuzu Sollers LLC - to produce medium-duty trucks with a high degree of localization. The total investment in the project was estimated at more than ₽6 billion.
