AvtoVAZ Lada Aura model can be used in taxi services if it has airbags, a reliable engine and a comfortable interior. This was stated by Anton Shaparin, deputy chairman of the National Automobile Association, in a conversation with socialbites.ca. However, according to him, AvtoVAZ cannot currently meet all these requirements.
“Lada cars, including the Aura model, should only operate in taxiing if they have two airbags for the driver and passenger as standard. There is no point in talking about this topic before this. “AvtoVAZ is trying to transfer its products to everyone, let it be transferred to the state that is ready to buy it,” the auto expert said.
According to Shaparin, taxis require cars with a certain engine reliability, which AvtoVAZ also cannot boast of. Taxi drivers are used to Korean and Japanese cars because they are understandable and predictable, but we do not have such equipment.
“The only thing that AvtoVAZ engines have achieved since the 90s is increased oil consumption as an unpleasant “option”. This leads to repairs and vehicle downtime instead of being online. Hence the loss of earnings,” the expert noted.
Don’t forget about comfort. Taxis around the world use large sedans that are suitable for transporting people and cargo. The expert emphasized that if AvtoVAZ masters the production of such equipment, we can talk about the priority of its purchase for taxi fleets.
Before that, it was known that AvtoVAZ planned to produce the Lada Aura sedan as a taxi version. However, the hardware of such machines is still unknown.

Experts told about changes in the structure of the Russian car market in January

The experts of the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" reported how the structure of the new passenger car market changed in the first month of 2024. Thus, in January of this year the share of legal entities decreased: if a year ago it was 20.8% of the total sales volume, now it is 17.2%.
Sergey Udalov, Executive Director of "AUTOSTAT" agency, notes that this may be due to the fact that corporate purchases were made in December, and the budget for the current year has not yet been approved in all companies.
Accordingly, the share of individuals, on the contrary, increased from 79.2% to 82.8%. In addition, in January there is a change in the market structure by body type. For example, the share of station wagons increased significantly for the year - from 64% (in January 2023) to 70% (in January 2024). Sergey Udalov attributes this to the growth in sales of Chinese cars on the Russian market. The whole point is that the "Chinese" are represented mainly in the SUV segment, where models with the body type "station wagon" are offered. But the share of hatchbacks/leafbacks has halved - from 14% to 7%.
There have been certain changes in the market structure by fuel type. Thus, the share of sales of diesel-powered cars fell 2.5 times - from 4.1% to 1.6%. At the same time, the share of hybrids and electric cars in the market increased. For the former, this indicator increased almost 4 times (from 1.1% to 4.3%), and for the latter - more than twice (from 0.8% to 1.9%).
Note: the publication uses data from JSC PPK ("Passport Industrial Consulting") - a joint venture of JSC E-Passport and AUTOSTAT LLC.

These are models deeply adapted for use in Russian conditions, with the prospect of high localization of production. All products to be manufactured by Avtotor under the AmberAuto brand are included in the unified localization program. For its implementation, 12 new plants are being set up at the new Avtotor production site in the Kaliningrad Region, which will produce not only electric cars themselves, but also dozens of automotive components, including critical items such as electric engine, gearbox, traction battery, power electronics, as well as electric car chassis, body and body systems, steering, etc.
The cluster will be launched already. Some of the cluster's enterprises will be launched as early as 2024. The phased implementation of the plan is aimed at achieving a localization level of over 90%. The cluster enterprises will provide a full production cycle, starting from casting and ending with the production of individual car interior elements.
The project to create production of electric cars and car components is being implemented under a special investment contract between Avtotor, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the government of the Kaliningrad Region. The volume of investments for the implementation of the announced plans, taking into account the existing investment commitments, amounts to more than 70 billion rubles.
