The engines currently produced in the Kaluga Region are compatible with three Russian-made models most popular with customers– Volkswagen Polo, Škoda Rapid and Škoda Octavia. The Kaluga plant produces 1.6 MPI gasoline engines of the EA211 series in two modifications– with a capacity of 90 hp and 110 hp.

Engines are supplied not only to the local market, but to production sites around the world. Thanks to a smoothly operating supply chain, Russian-made engines are exported to Germany, Mexico, Spain, Poland and other countries.
