So, from January to March, the proportion of trucks made in China was relatively modest 9-11%, and in June it rose to 30.9% – this data is provided by the Avtostat agency. Thus, the “Chinese” set an absolute record! Which, however, is not surprising. Due to a lack of European equipment, transporters do not really want to switch to Kamaz dump trucks and tractors.
In addition, the truck giant now produces only classic K3 series cars – with cramped cabins and voracious “eights”. Production of the super popular K4 family has been curtailed and the latest generation of the K5 will not return to the assembly line until six months from now.
In the passenger segment, the Chinese also feel very confident. According to the results of June this year, residents of the Russian Federation bought 6875 new passenger cars of “heavenly” brands, which is 21% of the total market capacity. That is twice as much as in January.
You can generally discuss as much as you want about the quality, design, safety and technology of the products of our eastern neighbors, but the Russians will have to buy it. After all, German, Korean and Japanese brands have now taken a break.
Well, the main victory for the Asians is the arrival at the former Renault factory in Moscow, which is now called MAZ Moskvich. There we remember, with the blessing of Sergei Sobyanin, crossovers and a sedan of the JAC brand will be produced.
