BMW went further and officially ordered the Chinese office to “categorically prevent” any attempts to export cars to Russia. Volkswagen, Toyota and Mazda also reported a lack of direct deliveries.
The focus is on Chinese joint ventures. It is there that both mass-produced Mazda, Honda, Volkswagen and Toyota are produced, as well as premium BMW and Audi, which then enter the Russian market in illegal transit.
