From September 5th to 8th, 2012, the Russian International Commercial Vehicle Show was held at Moscow CRUCOS Exhibition Center, which is the largest commercial vehicle show in Russia and even Northeast Europe. It is held annually at the Crocus Exhibition Center in Moscow, Russia and CSI. The country's largest and most authoritative trade show. Ankai Bus dispatched two hot-selling models, the HK6120 and HK6813G, targeting the Russian market to participate in the Russian International Commercial Vehicle Show.
Russia's accession to the WTO Ankai bus to take the lead
On August 22, 2012, Russia officially became the 156th member of the World Trade Organization and ended its 18-year negotiations on accession to the WTO. According to the WTO commitments, starting from the day when Russia officially joins the WTO, it is necessary to reduce the automobile import tariff from 30% to 25%, and keep it unchanged for three years. From the fourth year onwards, it will decrease by 2.5 percentage points annually until the summer of 2019. Tariffs have been reduced to 15%.
Russia is China's most important northern neighbor, and the Russian automobile market has great potential for development. The success of Russia’s accession to the WTO has undoubtedly opened the door to opportunities for Chinese auto companies. Russia has a vast territory and a good industrial base. It has great needs for all types of commercial vehicles. Russia used to be the largest export market for Chinese cars. In 2007, at the peak, Chinese cars exported nearly 57,000 vehicles to Russia. However, due to the impact of the financial crisis in 2008, Russia’s policies changed, and China’s auto exports to Russia fell sharply. By 2009, the Chinese bus industry had exported only a few hundred units to Russia throughout the year and fell to the bottom.
In the last two or three years, the Russian auto market began to recover slowly, especially in the first half of 2012. In the first half of this year, Russia's new car sales exceeded 1.33 million, an increase of 15% over the same period of last year. Ankai Bus seized market opportunities and won the largest single of 330 Chinese passenger cars exported to Russia in 2011.
Many models pass GOST certification to strengthen service network construction
The Ankai passenger car exported to Russia is designed and produced specifically for the Russian market. Take this HK6120 exhibitor as an example, and it is currently operating in bulk in St. Petersburg. This model is based on the climatic characteristics of high-latitude regions in Russia, and is repeatedly technically demonstrated and technologically innovative. It has made many adaptive technological improvements to the anti-freeze and anti-corrosion technologies of passenger cars, ensuring that the models can adapt to the local climate, environment, and geographical environment. It is fully applicable to the road traffic conditions in Russia. Commercial buses operating in Russia must pass the local GOST certification. GOST certification is based on European certification standards, and joins some of Russia's "self" standards. European certification only requires external noise standards. Russia also requires in-car noise standards, but also special requirements for harmful substances in cars, and others Special technical requirements for operation in cold regions.
Ankai Bus actively adjusts its product strategy for the Russian market, and works closely with local distributors. According to the relevant local certification standards, more than 100 items of product parameters have been tackled. Currently, many models have successfully passed the Russian GOST certification, laying a solid foundation for the next step in the development of the Russian commercial bus market.
With Russia's successful accession to the WTO in August, the related trade barriers for auto imports will gradually be lifted. However, this does not mean that the development of Chinese bus companies in the Russian market will be smooth. After Russia's accession to the WTO, Chinese auto companies will compete with European, American, Japanese and Korean auto brands in the Russian market. In particular, some European brands are located in Russia earlier and have already established several joint venture factories in the region. Therefore, if we want to achieve long-term development in the Russian market, not only rely on products, but also rely on high-quality services, which is particularly important in the vast territory of Russia.
Ankai bus relying on JAC Group, through the local dealers, established a more complete after-sales service network. The JAC brand has a very high reputation in the local area and is highly recognized by the Russian commercial vehicle market.
The Ankai bus has achieved good response at the International Commercial Vehicles Show in Russia and will lay a solid foundation for the next step in the development of the European market. With the help of Russia's WTO membership, Ankai bus will have a lot to do in the Russian market.
