According to the Prime-Tass news agency, the minister also projected Russia’s bus output at 82,000-85,000 units by 2010 and truck output at 275,000-310,000 units.
Automobile production should be worth a trillion rubles annually by 2010, Khristenko said.
New cars imports are expected to reach 400,000-500,000 units per year by 2010 if development of Russia’s automobile sector remains strong, Khristenko said. But if demand is mostly met by imports, imports may total 1 million-1.1 million units by then.
Khristenko said that the government has to upgrade the Russian armed forces’ automobile fleet. At present, vehicles aged over 12 years account for more than 80% of the Russian army’s automobiles.
