– We expect at least another 5-7 new brands to appear in 2023. At least, and even more. The market will develop one way or another, the market capacity exists, there is a need for cars,” said Aleksey Kalitsev, head of the Association of European Businesses’ automakers’ committee, at a press conference of the organization dedicated to the results of 2022 on the Russian car market.

Kalitsev thinks that we can expect the official appearance of mainly Chinese car brands in Russia. Despite the fact that many of them already have a de facto presence in the domestic market. According to some experts, Iranian car manufacturers can also meet domestic consumer demand for passenger cars. Last fall it became known that the authorities of Iran and Russia had signed a memorandum on the supply of cars to our country worth $ 300 million. This was announced at the end of November 2022 by the head of the Iranian Association of Auto Parts Manufacturers Mohammadreza Najafi Manesh. We are probably talking about the products of Iran Khodro and SAIPA. In addition, the Vietnamese brand VinFast is allowed to sell in Russia. Its crossovers have already received Russian OTTS.
