The brand has earlier unveiled the T7 crossover, which has received a price tag and will be available soon. Two more models – T8 and T9 – will complete the lineup in the future.
Full Cycle Manufacturing
The Tenet brand was launched by the joint efforts of the Russian holding company AGR and the Chinese company Defetoo. Production is organized at the former Volkswagen plant in Kaluga.
Before the launch of the full cycle, extensive engineering preparations were carried out:
- welding and painting shops were modernized,
- the assembly line has been improved,
- updated quality control systems.
To test the resistance of the coating, several dozens of bodies were produced. The cars were additionally treated against corrosion and prepared for operation in Russian climatic conditions.
