Lifan Great Wall leads Chinese auto makers to export more than half of their Russian exports

According to the Automotive News report recently, this year's Chinese auto makers' strong growth in the Russian market is due to the gradual recovery of the Russian industry from the global economic crisis in 2009.

According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, in the first 10 months of this year, the total volume of Chinese automakers’ total exports in Russia has increased substantially.

The cumulative sales volume of Lifan Motors, the largest export car manufacturer in Russia, was 14,480 units in October, an increase of 50% from the same period last year; the largest increase was Great Wall Motor, which was 88% higher than the same period last year to 5,172 units; Geely Automobile exported to Russia 3, 992 vehicles, which also achieved an increase of 50%; Haima Motors and BYD Auto had 2,664 vehicles and 1,485 vehicles, respectively, with an increase; the only car company that fell was Chery Automobile, with 5,359 vehicles sold, a year-on-year decrease of 33%. %.

The Chinese auto companies’ exports to the Russian market maintained a strong momentum in 2007 and 2008, but in 2009 they were weak due to the global economic downturn. In 2011, Russia’s recovery was apparent, with total sales of 2.16 million vehicles so far, a year-on-year increase of 43%, and surpassing the sales of 1.9 million vehicles last year.
