Not everything is “sweet” in a light bowl. Aleksey Sobolkov, director of development at Gruzovichkof, complains about the price increase. The engine control unit for a GAZ car used to cost about 7,000 rubles, and now you have to pay at least 20,000 for it. Therefore, businessmen are already dismantling old cars and re-flashing the “brains” of the control hardware in order to maximize the service life of expensive units. And in general Gazellen’s service has increased by 30%. Admittedly, there is no shortage of trucks and vans.
By the way, 30-40% of spare parts for various modifications of the gas “one and a half” can already be ordered in China, but their resources are low. Nizhny Novgorod makes more reliable. It is also interesting that there are no specific problems with the Chinese “diesel” Cummins. But for EvoTech series gasoline engines, you need to look for consumables.
As for purchasing the necessary nomenclature in other countries, the reality here is harsh. Businessmen are in no hurry to cooperate with Turkey, and logistics chains with Iran have not yet been built at all.
Foreigners have their own problems. If sellers have built up a stock of engine oil, sometimes for some models you just can’t find trifles, such as battery terminals. The conclusions are disappointing. We may already be cushioned by a new wave of shortages this year. As for Chinese products, especially “iron”, the probability of marriage is very high.
