by The Russian Federation is facing a shortage of spare parts. Very soon, car parts in Russia will become a significant deficit. The fact is that not only the world’s leading car manufacturers but also auto parts manufacturers are leaving the market of the aggressor country.
Since the end of last week, the largest auto component manufacturer Bosch has stopped supplying its products to the Russian Federation, followed by several other well-known companies. After this, prices for auto parts in Russia increased by 1.5-2 times.
But this is only the beginning: since warehouse stocks will last for only 1-2 weeks, this means that by March, the aggressor country will feel a sharp shortage of auto parts. Repairing cars in the Russian Federation will become a real challenge – just like in Cuba during Fidel Castro’s times.
Moreover, the most short-supplied will be the simplest consumables – oil and air filters, brake pads and discs, small suspension parts. They are mostly imported, as even for foreign brand cars assembled in Russia, auto parts manufacturing has not been established. Moreover, even Lada is not fully equipped with Russian components.
“If auto component supplies are cut off, the automotive market will come to a halt. Cars need constant maintenance. Some countries may start increasing supply to enter this sector, such as China. But it will take a very long time to set up the range and supply. They won’t be able to quickly cover all the necessary volumes,” said Alexei Pevkhonen, director of the Association of Automotive Component Distributors.
Let us remind you that many auto giants have declared their business closure in the Russian Federation.
