According to the AEB Automobile Manufacturers Committee, total sales of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in March 2026 amounted to 100,933 units. In turn, PPK calculates sales of new vehicles based on data on their transfer to owners: the statistics of this organization are 102,077 units, which is 22.9% more.
“We are observing market growth against the backdrop of increased pent-up demand and news about an increase in the recycling fee for cars imported through the EAEU countries,” says Alexey Kalitsev, Chairman of the AEB Automobile Manufacturers Committee.
Let us remind you that from April 1, the Ministry of Industry and Trade planned to introduce a unified formula for calculating the recycling fee for cars imported from the EAEU countries (in addition to the Russian Federation, it includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia).
According to this formula, the difference in customs duties will be added to the amount of the recycling fee provided for a particular category of car, and the difference in VAT and excise taxes will also be added.
The ministry lifted the initial deadline of April 1, thereby leaving the market in limbo – the barrier can be lowered at any time. This immediately sparked a revival of alternative imports.
