  • Why the Russians Backed the Opel-Magna-GAZ Deal??
    Why the Russians backed the Opel-Magna-GAZ deal?? Evolution of Russian Market PC Regs. Credit: R L Polk Keep three facts in mind: the Russian car market will be the largest in ‘Europe’ by 2012. The average amount people are willing to spend on a car is rising rapidly ($21,700 in 2008). Foreign car makers are taking a growing slice of the market away from domestic producers. Potentially, Russia is one of the globe’s ‘prize’ markets and its domestic car makers do not intend to give it all away to foreigners. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the car market in Russia has split into two broad geographic segments: in west Russia, the affluent ‘have’ buyers acquire cars that match European standards. They are mostly full or Russian-built imports; in east Russia, the majority ‘have-nots’ buy cheaper, domestic cars. The challenge facing the domestic producers is that their customer base want cars of similar standards as the imports. Domestic and Foreign Shares of the lucrative Russian Car Market 2002 - 2008 So, what’s the problem? To start with, domestic cars are still plagued with sub-standard suppliers and counterfeit after-market parts. Quality control in the factory’s is embryonic, so electrical and trim parts are poor, engineering in unreliability. To cap it all, many domestic brands are tarnished by their terrible reputation established in the ‘90’s—with the fall of the Soviet Union—when production quality collapsed as they couldn’t pay their workers. Another obstacle is emissions compliance. Most domestic cars meet Euro 0 standards and only in 2010 will Euro 2 be required.

All these vehicles have been unregistered before, e.g. new vehicles. Vehicles are clustered in four different segments: light commercial vehicles (LCV) from 2,8 to 6 tons gross vehicle weight (GVW); medium duty trucks (MDT) from 6 to 16 tons GVW; heavy duty trucks (HDT) above 16 tons GVW; and buses. The figures reported below (with some exceptions in the LCV segment) relate only to the brands represented by the CVC. Andrey Chursin, Chairman of the Commercial Vehicles Committee, commented: " In the 2nd quarter of 2012, the commercial vehicles sector developed in line with our forecast for modest growth. The situation on the market in the second half of the year will almost entirely depend on the new law on the disposal of vehicles. At the moment, the details regarding the upcoming law and its implementation are still unclear – with less than a month left before this law comes into effect, information regarding the exact terms and conditions is yet to be made available. We would like to know the ‘rules of the game’ in advance, so that each market participant has time to prepare accordingly ".
