Podshchekoldin Elected ROAD President and PATH Leader Through 2025

Aleksey Podshchekoldin, who chairs the BN-Motors group of companies, has been elected the new president of the Russian Association of Automobile Dealers, commonly known as ROAD. This development was shared by ROAD through its official Telegram channel and indicates that Podshchekoldin will oversee the association as head of the PATH until 2025, succeeding Vyacheslav Zubarev in that leadership role. The transition places Podshchekoldin at the helm of a national network representing car dealers across Russia at a moment of ongoing industry consolidation and regulatory evolution. ROAD emphasized the change as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen dealer collaboration, enhance market transparency, and support a coherent growth strategy for the automotive sector within the country. As the incoming president, Podshchekoldin is expected to steer initiatives aimed at unifying dealer standards, expanding the dealer base, and coordinating regional activities that address the varied conditions of Russia’s vast market.
