The end of the summer of 2023 promises to be a turning point for the Russian car market. This will happen thanks to the actions of officials, both Russian and foreign.
Striking consistency was suddenly revealed in the actions of the government of the Russian Federation and, who would have thought, Japanese officials. The local media reported that the authorities of the Land of the Rising Sun again decided to seriously “squeeze” Russian car owners. It turns out that they plan to seriously limit the export of cars to Russia in August of this year. And all: both new and used. It is forbidden to export cars with a cylinder capacity of more than 1.9 liters to us. As well as all electric vehicles and “hybrids”.
A bunch of experts have already spoken in the spirit of “horror-horror-horror” about the samurai bans. But in fact they will only lead to a reclassification of the used island market. First, the boom in used electric vehicles in the regions of Russia beyond the Urals will stop. Secondly, the inhabitants of these areas will have to do without more or less modern Japanese SUVs with their rather large engines. The Far East will have to master the apartment and rotting products of UAZ again.
Since it will be possible to transport cars with engines of less than 1.9 liters as before, the share of low-volume turbocharged buzzers will begin to increase in the right-hand drive “on the ground” fleet. Although car dealers will surely figure out how to supply right-hand drive cars of a prohibited type to suffering buyers. For example with a “transfer” in some Kigisia. This makes vehicles with Japanese roots 50,000-100,000 rubles more expensive, not more.
But such a company does not die from such nonsense. He can “give oaks” from another. For example, from what the Russian authorities have already been preparing for car owners since August 1. The notorious increase in recycling costs. Due to this, payments from importers for every car imported into the Russian Federation will increase many times over. So, for a passenger car with a 1-2 liter engine, the fee will increase from 178,000 to 300,000 rubles. At the beginning of the summer, the management of AVTOVAZ expressed such a wish to the government. For larger engines, the recycling fee will be even higher. It will become much less unprofitable to import used cars into Russia. And the cheaper the vehicle, the more painful the “use” blow will be felt in the pocket of the final car buyer.
The August “joint action” of the Russian and Japanese authorities will come in handy for the Russian UAZ and AVTOVAZ. The latter, for example, recently reported on the biggest production achievement: the resumption of production of LADA Granta already with ABS. The right-hand drive “Japanese”, as well as the “Chinese” never dreamed of such a resounding success!
To align the introduction of import bans on cars to Russia with the dates of salvage collection in our country is just a royal gift from the samurai to the lobbyists of the domestic auto industry! We do not believe in such coincidences: the Japanese clearly coordinated with our officials in an effort to protect Russian car manufacturers from competition from foreign cars and thus support the original old-fashioned domestic manufacturer!
