The Russian Automobile Manufacturers Association (AEB), headquartered in Moscow, said that the Russian automotive market is growing this year. AEB said that in the first nine months of this year, Russian car sales increased by 57.6%year -on -year to more than 1200,000 units; of which in September this year, the total sales of Russia’s new passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles reached 151,491 units, the year -on -year increase reached 33% Essence.
AEB Chairman Alexey Kalitsev said in a statement: “As AEB expected, the sales of new Russian and light commercial vehicles in September continued to grow. People think that the price of the car will rise and buy a car before. “
However, Alexey Kalitsev said: “Although the Russian car market performed well in September this year, the total sales in the third quarter of this year did not exceed the sales in the second quarter. The upper limit of market growth potential. In the next few months, the Russian automobile market may continue to grow, but the growth rate will no longer be rapid. “
At the same time, Alexey Kalitsev added: “The sales data of the first nine months of this year shows that by the end of this year, Russian car sales are likely to be higher than the previous expectations of AEB. In order to ensure the further development of the Russian car market, the Russian government needs to support the automotive market. “Demand and automotive production of automobiles”
Since the Russian -Ukraine conflict in 2022, Western automakers have withdrawn from the Russian automotive market. In this context, Chinese car companies have effectively filled the vacancy of the Russian automotive market.
In addition, Gary Beecroft, an analyst of British consulting company Clear, also estimated that in the past two years, the demand for Russian trailers (including heavy cargo trailers) has increased significantly. He said Russia is buying more transportation assets. “We estimate that Russia’s total trailers this year will be close to 36,000 vehicles, and this value of 2021 is 24,000 units.”
Gary Beecroft added: “Similarly, Chinese car manufacturers are also filling the gap left by Western car manufacturers who have previously exported trucks and trailers to Russia. At present, Russia’s main heavy trailer manufacturers include Tonar, Grunwald and Nefaz/Kamaz. “
