A little less than a year ago, the Volkswagen Group decided to stop exporting cars of its brands to Russia from Europe. China allowed the gap to be filled, with which, as the newspaper notes, Russia has strong trade ties. For obvious reasons, Volkswagen cannot ban the supply of used cars, but the Germans still hope to influence the export of new cars. True, it has not yet fully worked.

The fact is that in China, automobile manufacturers from other countries, in accordance with the recently abolished economic policy, were forced to organize joint ventures with local companies: in this way, Europeans and Americans gained access to the largest market in the world. world, but in return they were forced to share their technologies. Co-ownership of a business is a powerful constraint that currently prevents Volkswagen from dictating its terms.

The second “problem” facing Volkswagen – “gray” dealers who buy cars and can dispose of them at their discretion. The German concern is trying to fight with them, there are already “black lists” of such wholesalers whose operations Wolfsburg did not like. The official dealer network has received a strict order not to facilitate the supply of cars to Russia.

In the Russian Federation, Volkswagen has its own production facilities, which produced cars of the same brand and the Skoda brand. Currently, the concern is to decide the fate of the plant which, according to media reports, may be sold to a company in Kazakhstan.

Meanwhile, Volkswagen cars from China continue to be delivered to our country. Thanks to the parallel import scheme, the model line has grown not only with Volkswagen cars, but also with cars made by the Germans in Chinese joint ventures, for example, Jetta.
