The plant, which was formerly associated with well-known global brands including BMW, Ford, Kia, and Hyundai, is looking for fresh opportunities now that these companies have left the Russian market in the wake of the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/carspiritpk.com\/russias-car-market-could-fully-recover-by-2030\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Russia\u2019s Car Market Could Fully Recover by 2030<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Amber&#8217;s specifications, including range, power, or charging capabilities, are yet to be revealed but are anticipated to be just as unimpressive as its styling and proportions.
