RUSSIAN TRUCKS According to analytical agency Autostat data, the number of trucks over 6 tonnes gross vehicle weight amounts to approximately 3.7 million units in Russia, as of 01.01.2016. The share of vehicles older than 15 years is 65.2%. The largest share in the park belongs to vehicles manufactured in 2007 (4.1%). The second place is occupied by 2012 production trucks (3.7%). In the branding structure of the Russian truck park, the leadership is shared amongst GAZ, KAMAZ and ZIL. The total share of the three home brands in the market is around 60%. It should be noted that more than 80% of the truck fleet is formed of domestic vehicles, which leaves the foreign brands a share of less than 20%. Belarusian MAZ is the largest foreign player in the Russian truck market with 7.9% share of the park. Volvo is the leader amongst European companies (2.3%), followed by MAN (2.2%). Scania completes the top-three (1.8%). The text below offers the reader an overview that introduces the basic range of trucks manufactured in Russia currently. The entire technicality is structured in segments depending on total mass (LCV, MCV, HCV) for the sake of convenience and each segment is analysed as per manufacturer. Trucks for only military use, which are manufactured by several Russian plants, are not covered in our review, however, the vehicles with so-called dual-use, serving both military and civilian purposes, are included.

Vans and pick-ups on the basis of LADA automobiles have only been manufactured by various small satellite companies over the past two decades. However, the launch of the production of the estate wagon Dacia Logan MPV (under the brand name of LADA Largus in Russia) has brought the company the opportunity to develop a modification with the body of a van. Naturally, AVTOVAZ did not miss this opportunity. Two main variants of LADA Largus vans roll off the production lines of the plant currently, in different engines. LADA Largus Van

Later on the decision has been reconsidered, however the coordi­ ­na­ ted work of the company had already been disturbed and a full recovery has not been made so far.

GAZ (GAZ Group)/GAZ ¢ The medium-tonnage GAZ trucks con­ti­ nue to keep their superior position amongst the MCV+HCV segment vehicles registe­ red in Russia: 25.9% of the park belongs to GAZ. The fantastic production volumes of old days deserve credit in today’s standards: in Soviet times an annual number of up to 300,000 GAZ trucks rolled off the produc­ ­ tion lines! Many of these vehicles are still on the roads in the Russian hinterland. As GAZ-3309 for the current times, a little over 10,000 GAZ MCV have been manufactured last year, 80% of which were sold domestically. Two families are manufactured in the factory at the moment. The basic model of the old family is GAZ-3309: diesel truck with a gross weight of 8.18 tonnes, 2-seater cabin, developed back in the 1970s. There are two diesel engine options for GAZ-3309: the Belarusian 125 hp MMZ, converted é GAZ-3309 é GAZ-33086 Zemlyak from diesel tractor engine and the contem­ ê GAZon NEXT ê GAZon NEXT with 2-row cabin porary Russian 135 hp YaMZ. The prices don’t depend on the engine type: the dea­ lers ask prices starting from €18,500 for both versions, as chassis without super­ struc­ture. The family has two four-wheel- drive versions, sold under their own brand names: Sadko (single-tyre wheel, wide-sec­ tion off-road tyres, 6.54 tonnes gross weight)

GazON NEXT is sold for prices starting from €21,800 at the dealers and last year’s sales figure in Russia was 3223 units.

ZIL – The Truck Production Giant of the Soviet Era ¢ The third place after GAZ and KAMAZ in the Russian MCV and HCV park, in terms of volume, is occupied by ZIL trucks (15.5%). However, as in the case of GAZ, it’s a matter of «old merits» with ZIL as well. The plant used to manufacture 200,000 trucks a year easily, in Soviet times. The company ceased to exist as an automaker in 2015.

22 5 [129] 2016 КОММЕРЧЕСКИЙ ТРАНСПОРТ MAN Truck and Bus Production/MAN, Scania ¢ Until recently, MAN and Scania had separate assembly plants in the suburbs of St. Petersburg, each having a production capacity of 6000 vehicles. However, due to the serious drop in the pace of operations (the production volumes fell to 493 and 284 trucks respectively), the maintenance of two production sites became unprofita- ble. Therefore, it was decided to move the assembly of Scania trucks to MAN factory, preserving the vacant site. MAN factory is expected to start operating in its new ca- pacity in September. The capacity of the plant will be kept the same, however, will Armored tanker on the Volvo FMX chassis (6x6) be divided in equal shares between the two brands.
