Revenue of Russia's largest car producer, AvtoVAZ, rose 46% to Russian Accounting Standards to 58.762 billion roubles ($1.92 bln) in the first six months of 2010 year on year.

Revenue from core activities, car production and sales, grew 43.16% in the reporting period, following a sales volume increase due to the implementation of a government cash for clunkers program launched in March 2010.
