The joke about an official driving a Zhiguli car takes on its own features: dealers of domestic and Russian-assembled car brands say on the sidelines and in smoking
The joke about an official driving a Zhiguli car takes on its own features: dealers of domestic and Russian-assembled car brands say on the sidelines and in smoking areas that they have already received requests for batches of cars for services and departments. However, it is still too early to set off fireworks and dwell sarcastically on the “violation” of bureaucracy. There are caveats to this decision.
The State Duma telegram channel reported that the Council unanimously decided that deputies could use only cars produced in Russia. The message also sets a date for when the new rules will come into effect: from 2024. Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin also said that Moscow has already started renewing its fleet. But not on the date, but as it ‘departs’. Can you imagine how the service life of GON vehicles will increase? How many new things will we learn about the reliability of Korean, Japanese and German cars?
Next year, only civil servants in the regions will be required to drive domestic cars. In Moscow, as has already been said, the process proceeds as ‘retirement’ takes place. And we all know that cars can be repaired endlessly, especially if this is done at public expense, and the point of no return is an exceptional, extremely unfortunate accident.
So, as before, the domestic auto industry will be used only for populist purposes. And by the time foreign cars have exhausted their service life, deputies and other officials will receive Russian cars that are in no way inferior in comfort to the usual black sedans. True, they will most likely be produced not on an assembly line, but in a small-batch workshop, as the AvtoVzglyad portal has already written.
By the way, I wonder if Hongqi, produced in Belarus, will also fall under “assembled in Russia”? Then many will probably agree to a replacement.
