Toyota’s Russian assets in the form of an assembly plant in Shushary are haunting Russian motorists. It seems they don’t care what will happen to the company, which
Some of our officers have adopted ways of self-presentation from artists involved in show business. They also try not to let the audience forget themselves by periodically creating an information moment and immediately using it to their greatest glory. Recently, Denis Manturov, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the hero of the second season of the cool TV series Let’s Revive the Auto Industry, unexpectedly appeared in the media space.
Yes, yes, the same Mr. Manturov, whom non-systemic (please do not confuse with the opposition) economists flatly call one of the two main directors of the IMF’s colonial policy in Russia. After an impartial conversation with the president of the country, which was attended by all Russian citizens who own a TV set, he disappeared from the information horizon for some time. Now I apparently decided it was time to refresh my memories of myself.
There is no other way to explain that his recent performances, which RIA Novosti told us about, are impossible. So, four days ago, he made the following statement: “How can you lower the price (for cars of foreign brands – ed.) while maintaining both global and domestic inflation?” I would like to remind that Vladimir Putin demanded something else from him – to fight the unreasonable rise in car prices. And on the same day, on the sidelines of the RUIE Congress, Mr. Manturov published this kind of edict: “The transfer of Russian assets from Toyota to NAMI is being worked out.”
This immediately raises a number of questions for the minister. The first and most important is why bring information to the public’s attention that does not exactly contain specific details? The plant is transferred – it means it is transferred. Not sent means not sent. And who cares what is worked out there and where?
The statement is all the more strange because quite recently, on November 11 last year, Denis Valentinovich, according to the same RIA Novosti, on the sidelines (he loves this sideline) of the World Quality Day forum, confidently said the opposite: “ FSUE NAMI , subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, does not intend to buy a Toyota plant in St. Petersburg, there are no relevant discussions.”
Question two. Why the hell do we need another plant that isn’t clear what to do? The institute has already hung around the neck of an illiquid Nissan branch in the same St. Petersburg, which, however, it has successfully pushed onto AVTOVAZ’s balance sheet. to produce on its own. So why does he need all these unsolicited gifts? God forbid Togliatti’s car giant to digest what’s already here – it’s unlikely to take on another burden.
Theoretically, this option is possible, expressed by the executive director of Avtostat Sergey Udalov: “NAMI can act as an intermediary to search for those who will produce cars. But investors no longer have to negotiate with a Japanese company, but with representatives of the Russian Federation.” But a third question immediately arises here. In principle, what to do with this ill-fated plant? Who should merge it? Chinese? Iranians?
Like other final assembly car production plants, “located” in Russia, it can only do what it was specifically designed for – namely Camry and RAV4. Therefore, of all that is in them, only the buildings themselves are of real value, and not at all the equipment that will be thrown away by the new owners. An example of this is before our eyes. This is exactly what happened to the Renault plant in Moscow when it became Moskvich. The problem is that building workshops is not a trick at all. With this, we, and the Chinese, and Iranians, and whoever, will make it all on our own. But what now?..
