Automechanika Moscow

When talking about a Russian car, we think instinctively of the Lada brand vehicles that are recognized as the best-selling cars on the European market. But this former communist country was able to stand out and produce other brands than the Lada Vesta and Lada Granta. Vehicles of the Russian brand Moskvitch, Volga and Dragon Motors are also among the most popular Russian cars in the world. Not only have they made the reputation of the Russian automotive market, they have also taken center stage. Moreover, luxury limousines, off-road SUVs, supercars or Russian trucks made the best and the worst of the Russian automobile.

However, Russian cars will regain their fame on the world market thanks to state subsidies according to the experts’ demonstration. In January, …

Fluctuations in oil, currency crises such as those of the Turkish lira, the Tunisian dinar, the Iranian rial or the Russian ruble, the American sanctions, as well as the evolution of the regulations for the importation of coins as in Algeria, Tunisia, in Argentina.
