According to the new Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 855 of May 12, 2022 “On the approval of the application of mandatory requirements for certain wheeled vehicles and the conduct of their conformity assessment”, simplified cars can be produced in Russia without many modern systems . This is a forced action due to sanctions and disruptions in supply chains.
Now in Russia it is possible to certify cars without airbags, ERA-GLONASS systems, anti-lock braking systems and stabilization systems, seat belt tensioners…
As for engines, the purity of their exhaust can be any – from Euro-0 and above. But this does not mean that all car manufacturers will start producing such cars – the document only allows, not for.
The decision of the Government of the Russian Federation is valid until February 1, 2023.
