Why Russia began to copy Chinese cars, and not create their own
Throughout its history, Russia began to produce high-quality cars at a low price. And she did it very well. Take, for example, the Soviet period, when the legendary “penny”, which has no production in the world, left the assembly line. Affordable cost and excellent technical characteristics have made it a real bestseller not only in the domestic market, but also abroad.
The passing experience of past generations comes from brilliant engineers who return to designing masterpieces of the global automotive industry. Not a single foreign car could oust VAZ at the top of the sales top. Frantic demand and high popularity spoke only about one thing – the cars received first-class and very popular elite people.

Of course, pride overwhelms us, but we cannot stand still and we must move forward. As you know, the presence for permanent use in any area is required. Unfortunately, Western partners were unable to pass the test and adapt to the exceptional working conditions, and therefore the domestic car market is in demand.
they are not strong enough to compete with aggressive monsters, it was decided to give foreign manufacturers a “handicap” choice and put up a less highly qualified fighter against them so that they could oppose him at least something. After conducting with the Chinese participants, a car was provided that has rather mediocre skills, but at the same time has a basic minimum of overall manufacturability.
At the same time, for a while we had to hide from the general attention of our own development, so that the West would not be afraid, and calculated that our value matters for Chinese carts – which is all that our country has to offer today. Thus, this problem is solved by several tasks at once: luring to foreign countries in order to draw attention to the competitive advantages of domestic producers, as well as reducing vigilance in the first place and increasing their lead due to the occurrence of surprise.
The next no less serious reason is the saving of budgetary funds and their redirection to more needy sectors. Obviously, the development of advanced automotive platforms requires huge costs, amounting to billions of dollars, and does not fall under the power of many developed categories that require the actual transfer of a specific task to specific employees.
The latter has no choice but to increase the cost of their products to several hundred thousand dollars. Of course, not every citizen has to gather, so the vast majority have to give up the desire for such a large number of refined and original, but still too federal carts. Accordingly, one cannot go and talk about any mass character and accessibility in the case.
Well, and finally, the most important motive, on the occasion of Russia’s loss of an invaluable service to the Chinese manufacturer JAC and the developing economy of China as a whole, of course, as always, is concern for citizens. Making cars possible because of their superior quality will inevitably increase the cost higher (although the result of such activity in terms of price / output ratio will still be head and shoulders than that of Western goods).
It’s no secret that some Russians still can only afford a car with a maximum value of 3 million rubles. So, it is for such people that the Chinese novelty will go perfectly. So, firstly, recently in Russia as a temporary solution for moving from point A to point B, while there has been an increase in the level of its financial level.
And secondly, a significant reduction in the cost of post-warranty car maintenance. In addition, the roads are automatically cleared of rubbish serving their own. Thus, the country’s fleet is always beautiful up to date.
And when the time comes, the domestic auto industry will nevertheless present its best developments, which will surprise the whole world and set a new vector for the development of the entire global automotive industry. So foreigners will very soon go beyond the right to purchase Russian-made cars. Just a little more to discover.
