The Russian market of trucks in 2009 fell by 2,5 times, recovered more slowly than the market for passenger cars. According to experts, the implementation of major investment projects in the commercial sector is only possible if the market recovery to pre-crisis level. 
 Analytic Agency Avtostat "published a report on the status of the Russian market of trucks on the basis of data on vehicle registration. According to a study in 2009 in Russia on the account was put 48,000 new trucks GVW over 3.5 tonnes - in 2,5 times less than a year earlier. At 75% down and imports: a year in Russia were imported 8.3 thousand trucks, of which 3,5 thousand - in the last 2 months. 
 The market used trucks fell by only 20%, and to quantify the amount of second hand machinery market is 5 times more than the new one. 
 Last year in our country was re-registered 253.3 thousand second-hand truck (released in 2007 and earlier). The greatest amount of sale machines (48,5%) in 2009 occurred in trucks full weight of 8 to 16 tons (for this segment include inter alia, "compact" model Kamaz-4308). For heavy trucks weighing over 16 tonnes for 43% of sales, and the cars weighing from 3,5 to 8 tons (such as GAZ Valdai) accounted for 9% of secondary market. 
 The state plans to fight for the renewal fleet prohibitive methods: in the automobile industry development strategy until 2020 prohibits the commercial operation of medium trucks and heavy-duty 22 years old and buses over 15 years since 2011, and since 2012 - for cars and light commercial vehicles older than 20 years and minibuses over 15 years. To do this you must change the law on road safety. The finalized version of the concepts, signed in late April, the Minister of Trade and Industry Viktor Khristenko, must be approved by the Government. 
 According to "AUTOSTAT", in 2010, sales of foreign-made trucks will continue to decline (by about 34%), while the products of domestic auto plants is expected to increase demand by about 35%. The overall market growth of new trucks in 2010 is expected to reach 10%. 
 According to the director AUTOSTAT Sergei Tselikov in early 2010, market recovery truck is slower than in the automobile segment. 
 "Even during the crisis, the population had more money than businesses. In addition, the population exhibits greater mobility. The commercial vehicle is principally owned enterprises, which during the crisis considerably impoverished. Most of the companies is now working without a profit, and any additional working capital funds ", - explains the pillars. 
 According to experts, lack of investment in fixed assets (including vehicles) from businesses there now. This low volume of sales in inhibiting the production of trucks, including those involving foreign companies. 
 According to "ASM-Holding, as a result I quarter of 2010, production of trucks in Russia in I quarter of 2010 increased by 36,4% compared to the same period in 2009: from January to March were released 21,885 trucks. In particular, KAMAZ from January to April produced 9.6 thousand trucks and chassis - by 28,6% more than 4 months of last year. In April, the plant produced 3.48 thousand vehicle sets of cars and chassis for the installation of special equipment, RIA Novosti. 
 At the same time 13,3% of Russian-made cars accounted for foreign cars. In I quarter of 2009, they accounted for 8.4%. 
 "In the truck segment, we do not have major joint projects, there is only an attempt to organize the assembly of cars in minimal amounts. The most comprehensive line of commercial vehicles is collecting" Sollers "in cooperation with Isuzu and Fiat. One can also note technological cooperation between Mercedes and Kamaz. However, the active interest by Western companies for the construction of our assembly plants yet, "- notes the pillars. 
 According to the Association of European Businesses, from January to March in Russia have been realized 893 trucks foreign cars total weight of 6 to 16 tons and 1995 weighing over 16 tons compared with the low results of the 2009 increase was observed only in "hard" segment - at 87 %. Sales srednetonnazhnikov thus fell by 9%. Light Commercial Vehicles foreign manufacturers were sold 6668 units. 
 According to the expert, the development of truck assembly plants in Russia slowed down low sales volumes: for activation in this segment if the market began to approach pre-crisis values - about 200,000 trucks a year. An alternative way of cooperation with foreign companies is the creation of joint ventures of individual automobile systems - engines, transmissions.
