In the coming years, the demand for Chinese trucks in Russia will decrease. This is the view in an interview with Reedus voiced Vladimir Matyagin, President of the National Road Freight Transport Association “Gruzavtotrans”.
“I think in a year or two there will be a decline in purchases of Chinese equipment, because people are starting to understand that there are no spare parts, there is no normal service, the cars are expensive, their packaging is beautiful, but the quality is not the same,” said Matyagin.
He realized that the price of Chinese trucks was comparable or even more expensive than Russian trucks.
