One of the company’s top executives said that now a number of Asian automakers selling their cars in Europe and the United States fear being subject to secondary sanctions for supplying cars to Russia. That is why they do not do it themselves, because of the risk of various fines and blocks.
However, the process goes through Chinese companies with export licenses. With their help, they arrange the export of cars from China. After the “iron horses”, they are sold to Russian firms, which import them under the parallel import scheme. Meilin Auto will handle the entire supply chain in the Russian Federation itself. That is, the number of intermediaries is reduced. So you can expect some models to become slightly cheaper.
According to the Autonews.ru portal, Meilin Auto plans to import the Voyah, Hongqi and Li Auto brands. In addition, the Chinese are ready to organize the delivery of European and American models to order. We are talking about electric cars Volkswagen, Cadillac and Tesla. That is, the emphasis is not on affordable foreign cars, but on expensive ones. This is understandable, because the profit from such trades is higher.
