Sokolov, on the other hand, believes that such an approach to car production “only creates the illusion that our industry has quickly recovered.” “Chinese brands, incomprehensible to us, come to an agreement on empty capacities for assembling cars of low localization, for which it is still planned to sometimes grant state support in the low price segment up to two million rubles, and begin to gobble up the market of our product, where we invest a lot of money,” he explained. We are talking about new products, in the development of which AvtoVAZ plans to invest 60 billion rubles by 2026.
The question of increasing the usage fee, including in 2023, has already been raised, but the proposal was rejected. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce, in turn, said that the decision to change the disposal fee would be taken “depending on the changing situation”.
The usage fee is mandatory for all companies operating in Russia. Currently, the basic fare for a passenger car is 20 thousand rubles and is multiplied by a coefficient depending on the engine capacity. At the same time, the state compensates the amount of the paid fee, depending on the percentage of localization of production. The last time the fee was raised was in 2020.
