The head of Ford Motor Co.'s 50:50 carmaking venture with Moscow-based assembler OSJC Sollers tells Russia's Vedomosti newspaper he expects the country's collapsing car market will stabilize this autumn.
CEO Ted Cannis predicts sales will continue to worsen through August, then begin to improve as inflation eases.
