This WSJ does not any research. Car making is not Russia main industry. He maybe counting people working for Kamaz/UAZ/Ural/GAZ which are more heavy to light commercial vehicle makers. There is one Brand Autovaz that has 40K employees but that is full cycle manufacturer with entire city dedicated to auto and is 40% of market. the rest are just assembly lines with few thousand people here and there.China has now become the number 1 Car exporter in the world!! WSJ: let's find a way how to spin this terrible news against China's head by blaming Russia and China, then make China look like the incoming predatory industrialist for not siding with the west in the Ukraine conflict.
This recent news of Chinese becoming number 1 exporter of automobiles should have been done in an objective manner so that their audiences would be informed and empowered in trying to make their country more competitive and open to understanding why China managed to climb up on this sector that was not anticipated properly in their country's experts.
Instead, WSJ had to make this video report treating their audiences as if they and we're all retarded. This ain't the 90's man.
the management of the AVTOVAZ Group is closely monitoring the situation and is in constant contact with federal and regional authorities, as well as with the Company’s shareholders. Over the past weeks, all possible measures have been taken to ensure the preservation of the jobs of our 40,800 employees. In particular, we decided to pull ahead this Summer corporate vacation to 4-24 April 2022, and we will do our best to use this period to restore our supply chains.
foreign factory simply does not work with such low volume. only subsidy keep it afloat. in 6 months less than 3k production.
In Russia, after the resumption of production of Moskvich cars, 2.5 thousand cars of this brand were sold
The company also added that 860 Muscovites were sold in May. In statistics, we are talking about sales, and not about the number of registrations in the traffic police.
It is not Kremlin motorcade. its Russia-Africa summit motorcades for each African leader. I doubt this person understand years of certification before vehicles are put in motorcade.
There is some other errors in the report interms of top brand. The report completely ignore used and parallel import. and those cars dont get subsidy.
