The LCV segment is generally more stable than the passenger car market, but it is now suffering from the absence of industries that use them, in particular delivery and small businesses. Ensignability is also affected by the lack of drivers and expensive loans.
One of the local newspapers in Bryansk reported that even the personal podchekoldin car gathered in the factory could not be sold – it offered a discount for 2 million rubles.
Against the background of the car market crisis, other large Russian manufacturers also stop or reduce work. Since July, the Likinsky bus plant (Liaz) has moved on to a four -day working week due to a collapse in bus sales of 60%. Similar steps are introduced by gas, Kamaz and Avtovaz.
The factors are called a crisis in the commercial transport market, a high key and competition from the imported cars. In Avtovaz, it was predicted that in 2025, the car of passenger cars in Russia could be reduced by 25% – up to 1.1 million units.
