The lack of demand for Russian technology forced the giant auto of the Russian Federation – Kamaz, Gaz and Paz – to reduce the working week to four days or to completely stop the conveyor.
The Russian truck market actually went under China’s control: in 2025, Russian equipment sales fell more than half, while Chinese brands were already covered by more than 53% of the segment. This was reported by Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service.
For many years, Russian truck manufacturers have lost the struggle for Chinese imports for the Russian Federation’s domestic market. Chinese brands, after the release from the Russian market of Europeans in 2022, immediately mastered the niche of heavy equipment. So Russian calculations in “fruitful cooperation” have become a loss of domestic market – Chinese have already controlled more than 53 % of sales.
According to Intelligence, in the Russian Federation for 2024, the sale of trucks of its own production decreased by 19 %, and in the first half of 2025, it quickly fell 56 %, while in the segment of truck trucks usually up to 70 %.
The lack of demand for Russian equipment forced to lead trucks and buses manufacturers – KAMAZ, GAZ and PAZ – to reduce the working weeks to four days or completely stop the conveyor.
The SZRU also noted that the situation in the Russian car trucks of car trucks can be seen in collaboration with the “friendly” Belarus in this segment. Car manufacturers from the Republic of Belarus complained that they were “spitting” from the Russian Federation – in the first half of 2025, MAZ sales in the Russian market decreased by 34 %.
Earlier it was reported that sales of Chinese cars in Russia had reached a climax. Aggressor’s country has become China’s largest export market for cars. Even connoisseurs of premium brands in Russia are forced to move to Chinese cars.
