The increase in the recycling fee will directly entail an increase in prices for all cars: imported and domestic, new and used. This was stated by Anton Shaparin, vice president of the National Automobile Union (NAU), in a conversation with Izvestia on July 19.
"Prices for new imported cars will increase proportionally, by about 250 thousand rubles for a car with the most popular engine capacity of 1.5 liters. AvtoVAZ will raise prices by at least 100 thousand rubles, justifying this by the increase in costs. Prices for used cars will also increase proportionally," Shaparin believes.
In his opinion, this growth, along with the Central Bank rates, will have a strong impact on demand for cars.
“At the same time, the hope that Chinese suppliers will provide discounts seems premature: last time, discounts were given against the backdrop of market oversupply,” the expert believes.
On July 15, it became known that the Cabinet of Ministers plans to establish a step-by-step annual indexation of the recycling fee for cars, buses and some categories of special equipment until 2030. It is expected that from October 1, the recycling fee for cars will increase by 70-85%.
