Lukashenko made certain speech from Geely factory in Belarus

This factory produced 30k Geely cars in 2022 and 70k in 2023. Now Belarus produce the world's most advanced dump truck. Sounds like China/Geely has really helped Belarus build auto industry
Belarus has signed deal with FAW Hongqi to assemble cars in another factory
Belarus had its own production of large dump trucks:

. These factories have been operating since Soviet times. There were only no factories for the production of passenger cars.

Belarus produced the huge wheeled vehicles which were used to carry Soviet ICBMs. Russian Yars ICBM and Iskander still use vehicles built there by MZKT. Belarus supposedly passed this technology to China and that is how the missile carriers for DF-41 were allegedly developed.
The Belarussian heavy wheeled vehicle industry never stopped even after the Soviet collapse. Minsk also used to be one of the centers for computing technology in the Soviet Union. Where the Minsk mainframe computer line cames from. Even today they still have companies like Integral because of this.

Look at the top increases. All former soviet republics

Russia up 459%
Uzbekistan 257%
Kazakhstan 248%
Belarus 291%
Krygystan 2782%

But yeah, China's export of all kind of vehicles to these countries are way up

China's auto export. Huge increases across the board obviously, but what's really being significant to Russia is just the increase in trucking

Tractors up from 85 in 2021 to 62537 this year
HDTS up from 5938 to 45228 this year
Light truck 1290 to 24534 this year
medium truck 939 to 9338 this year

large buses from 592 to 3301 this year

I assume light and medium truck exports are lower because Russia can make competitive products in those areas

In a lot of cases the Western car brands had factories in Russia, because of the favorable tax regime, low cost labor, and cheap energy costs. These cars were then sold not just to Russia but also to other countries in the Former Soviet Union. Particularly countries in their EAEU trade block. When those factories closed and those brands left Russia guess what happened. People just switched from Western to Chinese cars.

The Russian car brands which are left and can produce cars have been selling at a prodigious rate as well. But even then there is a huge chunk of the market left for Chinese companies which quickly plugged the gap left by the Western car companies. This was a huge boon for Chinese companies which had a hard time selling combustion engine cars in China because of the success with electric cars there. They are basically dumping the combustion engine cars in Russia.

I remember seeing wagon model in development, have they dropped it? I think it's interesting BYD hasn't got wagon model yet, considering so many different models on sale now.
