The Automobile Services Association has prepared a call to the EAEU Economic Commission and the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade (which socialbites.ca has a draft document) in which it requires foreign auto companies to provide access to Russian cars. from component factories and auto services to technical information about the cars sold in our country.
The soldiers, through the efforts of domestic companies, seek to establish in our country the production of alternative spare parts for foreign cars, as well as to carry out in-depth restoration (the so-called “reconstruction”) of defectively dismantled units. cars.
The document emphasizes that “Today, a difficult situation has arisen in the field of keeping the country’s vehicle fleet in a healthy and safe condition”. –
Rapid remedial measures are urgently needed today in the form of documentation of existing repair and restoration facilities capable of introducing newly manufactured and restored components of motor vehicles to the spare parts market.
It is possible to gather such businesses with talents in a single program in a short time.”
The Association emphasizes that in Europe, the so-called German “autoshrota”, which specializes in the sale of contract auto parts, in particular, rebuilders are quite common. Relevant requirement for automakers located on the Russian market, the industry organization proposes to include in the technical regulation “On the safety of wheeled vehicles”.
“If documentation is provided, it is possible to establish the production of such elements here – it just needs to be encouraged. If this had been done 15 years ago, we would have produced spare parts just like in China.”
– Alexander Pakhomov, chairman of the board of the Automobile Services Association, explains in an interview with socialbites.ca.
Foreign companies have placed in the Russian Federation what is useful to them, only the last loop – assembly. Even deeper production wasn’t much different in technology, because it was deeply robotic and even machines were reconfigured from abroad via the internet, he adds.
Union of auto parts adjustable by Russian companies, Pakhomov listed suspension elements, including springs and shock absorbers, engine and transmission parts, brake system elements, filters, cooling system parts.
Any manufacturer entering the country market with its goods in other countries, including Korea, South Africa, Turkey, European countries and the USA, is obliged to provide local manufacturers of spare parts with documentation for the manufacture of wear parts, additional devices and diagnostics. devices, Unity highlights.
“The Ministry of Industry and Trade, which has a beautiful goal of filling our market with goods, has previously given the green light to auto manufacturers and their official dealers everywhere. But today the situation has changed,
Pakhomov argues.
socialbites.ca asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade about possible measures to support manufacturers of alternative spare parts in Russia and the requirements for automakers to disclose technical information for this, but at the time of publication the editors did not receive a response. .
The procedure for deep restoration of automotive units is valid within the framework of partnerships between specialized companies and automakers themselves, but in the case of the production of components, it would be more correct to look for large suppliers in non-sanctioned countries. Against Russia, experts say.
“It is quite logical to require automakers to acquire refurbishment technologies. There is such a practice all over the world, but for some reason such obligations regarding Russia were not expressed,
– Igor Morzharetto, a motorist, notes in an interview with socialbites.ca. – As for production, we should rather look for manufacturers who have been doing this for a long time. Moreover, some countries did not curse us,” he said.
Refurbished parts are already produced in Europe by authorized partners of automakers under their control – this also applies to the production of parts that are no longer in production, says Sergey Burgazliev, an independent automotive industry consultant.
“If someone in Russia makes a copy of the original without the consent of the automaker, this is reason to think that the intellectual property has been confiscated,
Burgazliev takes notes in an interview with socialbites.ca. – If we follow the official way, this is the right civilized approach that guarantees security. I do not support mere copying without the permission of the manufacturer.”
Civil repair in cooperation with the automaker is definitely better than “wild” repair, even if it is done by companies that employ professionals.
