Nissan will shut down its plant in St. Petersburg in early August during which employees will be on collective holiday, an official at the enterprise told Interfax.
The official declined to name the precise date when production would halt or how long the shutdown would last.
"The halt is not connected with the declining car sales market," he said, adding that collective holidays are common for all of the automaker's European plants.
It was reported earlier that Nissan opened the plant in St. Petersburg on June 2. It is designed to produce 50,000 cars a year in two models: the Teana and X-Trail. The project budget was $200 million. The plant, located at a 165-hectare site, employs 750.
