While the automaker Vadim Shvetsov got rid of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, representatives of Chinese companies announced their plans to conquer the global auto market. At the same time, the Duma deputies delved into new bills that would significantly increase penalties for disobedient drivers. And more about the most talked-about events of the coming week – in the video summary of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Perhaps the most recent news from the Russian auto industry last week was the news that Vadim Shvetsov had lost a majority stake in the Sollers Auto holding (UAZ, ZMZ, joint ventures with Ford, Mazda and Isuzu). He handed it over to four top managers of Sollers Group – the deal is estimated at 4.5 billion rubles. It seems that the domestic automaker’s business is going very badly. So you should not expect tough SUVs in the near future. Just as one should not hope that UAZ vehicles will keep imported automatic transmissions and anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Meanwhile, some are rolling down, others are confidently conquering new peaks. For example, the Chinese, who are working hard on new technologies. Great Wall, for example, has focused on innovation in alternative energy sources – this year alone, the group received 1,300 patents. Geely is not far behind. These Chinese have expressed their intention to become leaders in the “green” segment. To be more precise, they plan to reduce car CO2 emissions by a quarter by 2025, and by 2042 – to achieve full carbon neutrality.
Not without social news in the outgoing week. State Duma deputies have passed a law on administrative responsibility for rubbish thrown from cars. They have also completed a project that will tighten penalties for disenfranchised drivers.
Several interesting initiatives were also received, which have not yet been submitted to the Duma. We are talking about abolishing the transport tax for buyers of domestic cars and changes to the Code of Administrative Offenses, removing fines for frivolous violations and tightening penalties for serious violations.
