As practice shows, emotional decisions are not always correct. Especially in business. As a result, the mass exodus of car brands from Russia has in fact caused no appreciable harm to Russians. This had no qualitative effect on reducing citizens’ access to mobility. Moreover, instead of the disappeared brands, our market was quickly filled with cars from the Middle Kingdom. The AutoVzglyad portal suggests that Korean car brands, aware of the seriousness of the threat from China, are starting to prepare the way for their comeback.
The Russian market is quickly filling up with “Chinese”, whose diversity and technological progress are beginning to pose a serious threat to the global automotive industry. It seems that those who, in an effort to save face before the outraged international community, not only left the Russian Federation, but also gave up their production here, have also come to realize this. Which I had high hopes for lately. And these investments, multiplied by zero, motivate the management of companies to take measures to revive them.
For example, the director of purchasing department of Hyundai Motor Chong Hyeonchol said that the brand is in dialogue with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the government of St. Petersburg to discuss the issue of resuscitation of the St. Petersburg plant. According to him, the brand is “looking daily for a solution to get started.” Recall that Solaris, Creta and Kia Rio left the Korean assembly line in Shushary before the crisis (the design capacity of production is more than 200,000 cars per year, more than 2,000 people worked there).
The AvtoVzglyad portal reminds that the company currently operates in a limited mode, producing components for the maintenance of cars already sold. In addition, parts are stamped here, bodies are welded and painted for the assembly location of Hyundai Solaris in Kazakhstan, Fontanka.ru reports.
