  • 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.
