Restricted Commercial Vehicle Enterprises in Russia Call for Joint Response


Foton Motors

Li Xiaofan, deputy general manager of Overseas Business Division of Foton Motors, said that in the first quarter of this year, China’s auto exports to Russia have declined. The main reason is that Russia’s requirements for importing Chinese cars have become increasingly stringent, making it very difficult for Chinese cars to enter Russia. At present, the situation in which Chinese auto companies fight price wars in Russia is not serious, and more obstacles are encountered in some non-tariff trade barriers.

“I understand that after July 1, Russia will implement new requirements for the certification of quality standards for imported vehicles, with a total of 55 certification projects. These 55 items are mainly for non-GNE members, and China also includes Therefore, it is somewhat unfair to Chinese auto companies, and Chinese auto companies have encountered some obstacles in investing and building factories in Russia."

Li Xiaofan said that in response to the plight of China’s auto exports to Russia, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers recently went to companies to conduct a more comprehensive understanding. We hope that domestic auto companies can unite and have a common voice to appeal. ”

According to Wang Gang, general manager of Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck Import and Export Corporation, many countries now protect the development of their auto industry through non-tariff trade barriers. Russia's implementation of 55 quality standards certification also restricts imported cars through non-tariff trade barriers. Some EU certification projects. For Chinese companies, 55 certifications will definitely affect China's commercial vehicle exports to Russia, but now they can only do so according to the other party's certification. Sources said that the country is preparing to set up a testing center that China and Russia mutually approve. However, it will be difficult to shape in the short term. There are still many details that need to be discussed and coordinated.

Yutong

Yutong Overseas Marketing staff told the reporter that “in the short term, the impact still exists, which will increase the complexity of the export of the company’s products. However, it should be noted that the Russian certification system is due to European ECE standards, and the Russian climate is cold, Wet and rainy snow, the situation of roads is complex, and it is reasonable for Russia to raise the difficulty of certification according to national characteristics."

“Government competent authorities should stand on a relatively objective and fair stance, and cannot unilaterally protect and favor Chinese enterprises. This is crucial for the long-term development of China’s passenger car exports. The basis for negotiations should be based on the regulation of domestic enterprises’ export order. If Chinese companies If there are still vicious competitions on the export side, mutual price reductions, and heavy sales after light sales, we cannot ask foreign parties how to do it."

Jinlong

Da Jinlong, a manager in charge of overseas operations, told reporters: “The increase in the number of certifications in Russia, although making the product certification cycle longer and more difficult, at least it can eliminate the products of many small passenger car companies in the country, for large companies like ours. In terms of the domestic authorities, I think the first thing is to regulate the export order of domestic companies."

Suzhou Jinlong

A staff member of Suzhou Jinlong Overseas Market Department said that Suzhou Golden Dragon had received three years of export Russia certification (55 items) in September last year, so this policy change has little impact on it. The main problem currently exiting Russia is that import duties are relatively high. At the same time, Russia's promotion of quality standards certification is aimed at restricting the disorder and excessive access of cars in China, and it also puts forward higher requirements for car quality. What can be done at present is to adapt to other people's rules of the game and to "take precautions."

Great Wall Motor

Great Wall Motor Promotion Department Minister Shang Yugui told reporters: “Chinese cars are very suitable for the use environment in Russia, and there is no Chinese car company that intends to do only 'one hammer' sale in Russia.” In his view, Russia has repeatedly raised Chinese cars. The export threshold of a company is not justified.

According to reports, Russia is not afraid of high-end brands in other countries. Instead, it is somewhat afraid of Chinese auto companies. "China's automotive cost-effectiveness is great and it is suitable for use in many regions in Russia." Shang Yugui further stated that although some Russian media "think that China's auto technology is backward and the technology is poor," this does not match reality. "Domestic auto companies are not unable to produce high-priced vehicles. Instead, the Russian market requires cars with obvious cost-effective advantages."

On the one hand, it is the domestic automobile market in Russia that is vast; on the other hand, it is the export that is often restricted. “If you rely on a single company for communication, the effect is not ideal, and the efficiency is not high at the same time.” Shang Yugui believes that if more companies can participate, the relevant agencies and industry associations in the country will organize the cooperation and coordination. Will play a greater role.
