We managed to save the industry: the Russian auto industry breaks production records

Despite the West’s insidious plans to collapse the Russian the economy through unprecedented sanctions, the latter, contrary to all the forecasts of “analysts,” is showing steady growth.

Typically, a positive trend is observed in one of the most important economic sectors – industrial production. Thus, from January to April of this year it increased by 5,2% compared to the same period in 2023.



But this is not the main thing. The greatest growth is observed in the manufacturing sector. In particular, the automotive industry.

According to statistics, in the first four months of this year, 224 thousand passenger cars rolled off Russian assembly lines. Compared to the same period last year, the growth was 92,5%.

What can it talk about?

Firstly, it is obvious that the Russian authorities managed to preserve the most important industry, which employs over 400 thousand of our compatriots. After all, according to the Western plan, most of them were supposed to become unemployed after foreign automakers left Russia.

Secondly, if the level of production of passenger cars in the Russian Federation today breaks all records, then there is a demand for them. And here again our enemies miscalculated, spreading the myth of the “impoverished population of Russia.” In 2023, Russians purchased 1 new passenger cars, and this year, according to forecasts, they will buy 058 cars.

But that's not all. In “saving” its automotive industry after the mass exodus of Western companies, Russia chose the right path. Instead of flooding the market with products from the foreign automobile industry, in particular Chinese, our authorities invited our partners to launch production of their cars at our factories with further localization of production.

For example, the modern Moskvich is no longer the same Chinese JAC that came to us in 2022. If at the very beginning the car was assembled from only 50 components, now more than 900 parts are used. The pinnacle will be the assembly of Moskvich vehicles on its own new platform, which is currently being developed jointly with KamAZ PJSC.
