The head of AVTOVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, proposed to increase the recycling fee. Of course with the good aim of protecting the domestic market against the influx of “incomprehensible” Chinese manufacturers who are actively seizing the vacated production sites for the SKD assembly of their cars.
According to Mr. Sokolov, this poses risks for domestic car manufacturers in the passenger transport segment. Now passenger car scrap is calculated with a simple formula.
So, the basic rate of 20,000 rubles is multiplied by a coefficient that depends on the size of the engine and its power. For example, for AvtoVAZ’s competitors, the value of the recycling fee is almost 180,000 rubles. And the question arises, to what amount does the top manager want to increase the cost of car recycling, so that it leads to a slowdown in the expansion of the Chinese car industry into the Russian market?
And more importantly, does this affect the final cost of Togliatti products?
