MOTOR INDUSTRY:

The motor industry of Russia is on the fast track now. For today Russia ranks second in Europe after Germany in the overall production of cars. Against the backdrop of automobile crisis in Europe, Russia pretends to have the lead by 2014-2015.

In 2011 there was signed an agreement between the Government of Russia and foreign manufacturers under which the carmakers received tax advantages, provided that in turn they were obliged to make a minimum of 300 000 cars per year, and to invest in manufacture. As a consequence - incorporation of Russian and foreign companies in joint ventures, for example, RENAULT and AVTOVAZ, VW and GAZ.
