It is no secret that of the foreign car manufacturers in Russia, only the Chinese and Koreans have not officially suspended their activities. But if with the former
In general, the rumors about the large-scale exodus of foreign brands from Russia are greatly exaggerated. Uncle Sam’s unequivocal hints and stern frowning, it turns out, didn’t scare everyone. According to RIA Novosti, most companies headquartered in the EU and G7 countries continue to operate quietly in our country, with less than 9% of companies exiting the market. These data are presented by Simon Evenett, professor at the University of St. Gallen, and Niccolò Pisani, professor at the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne. According to their report, less than 18% of US subsidiaries, 15% of Japanese and 8.3% of European companies left Russia.
It is unpleasant to admit, but it was the car brands that turned out to be the most cowardly, who ran headlong and left all their property in a panic. And here it would be appropriate to recall Isaac Schwartz:
Henrich: But please! If you look deeply, then personally I am not to blame. That’s how I learned it.
Lancelot: Everyone was taught. But why did you turn out to be the first student, such a beast?
One way or another, but they all made their choice – more precisely, almost all of them. The Koreans pretended to be dead for a while, but through the lashes of their closed eyes, they keep a close eye on the slightest changes in the situation. No intelligible messages come from them, so it is impossible to say for sure what thoughts are floating in the heads of Hyundai and Kia executives. If they walk around there at all and don’t avoid each other in a pre-comatose state.
It seems that senior managers have not yet drawn up clearly defined plans and are guided solely by the current situation. Leaving behind a fat piece of the Russian market, where the Koreans have settled so nicely, is stupid. Disobeying a command from across the ocean is scary. Therefore, they run around like a mouse during childbirth, pretending that the right hand knows nothing about the secret activities of the left hand.
TASS reports: “The process of firing employees of the Korean concern Hyundai began in St. Petersburg.” This was deliberately done loudly, with the notification of the municipal employment service. And at the same time, the idle Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Rus plant in St. Petersburg began secretly stamping parts, welding and painting bodies for the Hyundai Solaris. This was reported to Vedomosti by two sources familiar with the company’s activities.
Yes, the bodies go beyond the borders of Russia – to the Hyundai Trans Kazakhstan assembly plant in Alma-Ata. It seems that, in addition to Solaris, they will soon start producing bodies for the Creta crossover. But it is unlikely that these nodes are intended for cars sold in the republic. The market there is small compared to the Russian one. Most likely, finished machines will be exported to us.
Of course, such semi-underground activity cannot inspire optimism – the timid hope that this is the first step towards normalizing the industry’s work is groundless. But the semi-mothball factory in St. Petersburg will be able to survive for some time without becoming a dumping ground for production equipment.
At the same time, and only at the suggestion of the same Koreans, rumors circulated that the Kazakh Astana Motors was considering options to take over the Hyundai factory. And not the one just discussed – at least there would be some logic to this – but an inactive site in Shushary, which the Koreans themselves got quite recently from GM leaving Russia.
Given our not the easiest relationship with Kazakhstan, which is trying with all its might to lie below the United States to “be like everyone else,” this insider information seems like an extra security attempt by Hyundai to throw a shadow over the fence. It’s less likely, but not impossible, that this whole story originated in the minds of our auto experts, latently looking for at least something positive. After all, how are you? Beneš has already agreed to a pan-Europe, but on the condition that Chornomorsk be declared a free city. They also have to sell their farm equipment to someone, don’t they?
In general, wherever you kiss – around the aphedron. And life throws up more and more mysteries. So, the correspondents of the portal “AvtoVzglyad” unexpectedly encountered a paradox in the car dealership “Major City New Riga”. The spaces allocated for Kia are full, almost all models are represented. At the same time, silence reigns on the territory of Hyundai. As a local physicist would say, there isn’t even a vacuum there. Managers cannot explain this bias – they just shrug their shoulders and express the hope that over time everything will improve and balance out.
That’s right, over time. The Koreans are trying to await the height of the international crisis without being beaten in the neck by their opportunism. However, if the contradictions between Russia and the West are not resolved in the foreseeable future, their cunning tactics will unfortunately not succeed: the Americans will finally put pressure on Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Rus. The factory will have to follow Toyota’s example and put a large shed lock on the door.
