The domestic manufacturers gained share.
Lada sales were down 2% only.
UAZ sales were up 1%
GAZ sales were up 9%
By the way Lada sales were up almost 20% in December compared to last December.
Also, Lada sales were up almost every month during the last 6 months. Bur were not enough to offset the declines earlier in the year.

Avtovaz is looking to the renault plant in Iran to produce Lada's in Iran for domestic and export sales. A good move. Kamaz and others should also make the same move.

So with that, Russia's biggest private-use car manufacturer is foreign-owned. Very similar to what happened in the UK (Jaguar, Land Rover), Serbia, Romania and so on.
Any other Russian car brands still in existence, owned in majority by Russian entities?miketheterrible wrote:http://rostec.ru/news/4519764

So it begins. They'll build in Iran and sell in Russia and ex-USSR.

Productions outside of Russia are kept small for sales to the domestic markets with some prospects to export too. Hence why they will be using a renault plant. As your comment militorov, you actually hit the nail. The market for export can be mainly Iraq which will be in demand for cheaper cars and already Iranian brands are gaining traction in sales in Iraq.

So they decide to fire 740 people
Liberals at Komersant hear about it and deem that it's not sensational enough so they add one more zero at the end and get 7400
To get better headline they round 7400 to 8000
Liberals.... no need to insult them because just calling them liberals is insult in itself
