Prime-Tass reported that the government will subsidise transportation costs of GAZ Group’s LCVs GAZelle, Sobol, and Maxus; Sollers’ LCVs UAZ, Fiat Ducato, Fiat Doblo, and Isuzu; as well as Nissan Teana cars, produced at Nissan’s St Petersburg plant; and VAZ-2107 cars, produced by Chechnya-based Chechenavto, under the amendments to a ruling issued in early March.
Prime-Tass noted that the measure is intended to ensure that the price of cars in the country’s Far East is similar to the price of cars in the European part of Russia.
