When Russian authorities increased recycling rates from August 1, they appeared to explain the aims of the move. The increase in rates was necessary to support the domestic
In general, everything went along the path very succinctly described by the philological virtuoso Viktor Stepanovich Chernomyrdin: they wanted the best, but it turned out as always. Or maybe they didn’t even want what they publicly stated?
After all, this is not the first year that the heads of the Ministry of Industry and Trade have been married; the recycling fee was introduced back in 2012 at the instigation of Duma deputy Alfiya Gumarovna Kogogina, on the eve of Russia’s accession to the WTO, an organization extremely useful for the country’s economic health. Subsequently, this move was aimed at sharply reducing the import of cars into the country and maximizing their localization.
But as we were all convinced a year and a half ago, our auto industry did not even come close to its goal because, instead of working to expand domestic production, it immediately engaged in postscripts, cheating and outright deception, endangering the country’s vital position. localization into a fiction, the consequences of which Russia is now spoon-feeding.
But realizing that repetition is the mother of learning, the government’s financial and economic bloc decided to once again align themselves for the best assimilation of the material. Is it really necessary, in conditions of a terrible shortage in the car market, to close one of the supply channels, at least to complicate its use as much as possible?
Contrary to expectations, the market initially reacted rather slowly to the eccentricities of the parliamentarians and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. So, in July, before the landmark decision, imports amounted to 42% of the total volume of passenger cars sold, and alternative (or parallel, if you like) imports – 11%. At the end of October, shares changed as follows: official deliveries rose to 45%, while parallel deliveries fell to 11%.
Gradually, however, the thoughts began to settle in the minds of the major importers that they should slowly but surely stop parallel imports. In circumstances where recycling collection increases sharply, it becomes unattractive. Moreover, this consideration cannot be ignored: tightened control over the implementation of sanctions will sooner or later cover this raspberry.
There are far fewer threats to official deliveries, and the price of vehicles supplied under long-term contracts can be inflated with impunity, offsetting losses on disposal fees. From July to October, the weighted average price of a new car rose from 2.68 million rubles to 3.03 million – and nothing. And now the first swallows have already arrived. The dealerships “Avtodom” and “AvtoSpetsTsentr” will stop supplying cars to Russia through parallel imports:
“Going forward, due to supply constraints and the rising costs of parallel imports of premium cars from Europe, deliveries will be patchy and we will refocus our priorities on developing official deliveries of Chinese electric vehicles and hybrid cars,” the statement said. communications director. of the group of companies told Gazeta.Ru “AutoSpetsCenter” Anna Utkina.
Apparently, in the near future, all parallel imports have a chance to reduce to the same 3% that European premium brands occupy in the total turnover, which still have no alternative. And we do not feel sorry for him, the “gray one”, because from the very beginning it was clear that he could play only one role: a temporary backup that would not fundamentally change the situation on the market.
Another question is that in the past year and a half there have been no breakthroughs in building our own automotive industry, technologically independent of external suppliers. Yes, it was as if it was not expected, because Denis Manturov’s department is busy with other, probably more important matters. And the Central Bank has not set a goal to stimulate domestic industry.
