AvtoVAZ opposed the Lada monopoly in a taxi segment

The representative of the car factory Sergei Gromak said on a round table dedicated to the development of the taxi -engineering industry, that the requirements for taxi localization “should be reasonable, fulfilled and provide taxi drivers with the opportunity to choose.” The Vice President of AvtoVAZ emphasized: the LADA monopoly in the taxi segment “will only be to the detriment”, and the bill should not have return.

Discussions of the mandatory localization of taxi cars began with the presentation of Vladimir Putin. In June 2023, the Russian leader instructed to consider the development and application of requirements for localizing the production of taxi and car sharing cars. The bill should enter into force on October 1, 2025, but at present only four autovaz models meet the requirements.

Vice President of Auto Gigant Sergey Gromak agrees that a taxi “should be an imported industry.” However, the law on taxi localization should be applied only to newly purchased cars. Requirements for the level of localization – the subject of discussion. The head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexander Shokhin, considers the bar 3200 points excessive and offers to delay the entry into force of one year (until October 1, 2026).

The fears of the authorities are clear: tightening the criteria can force carriers to go into the shadow. It is impossible to achieve the target level of localization at once. The representative of the Russian HAVAL Russian plant, Ivan Dushkin, proposes not to extend the requirements for localization to models whose analogues are not made in Russia.

Representatives of taxi and aggregators recall that the share of self-employed in the field of a taxi in certain regions reaches 90-100%, and drivers on personal cars for the bill will not adapt.
