Transitional period

One of the most important indicators of the economy is the demand for automotive products. According to experts, by September car sales in Russia fell by 12.7% in the first eight months of the year. Hard times came both for the automakers and related sectors related to the automobile industry. Under these conditions, the larger the company the harder it is to change for it in a short time. Experts point out that many companies are focused on improving the efficiency of the management. Active changes are taking place at AvtoVAZ, the largest automaker not only in Russia but also in Europe. Its production is the best-selling in Russia: about 250,000 cars were sold within eight months of this year, accounting for about 17% market share in Russia. Sales of Renault over the same period were half less.
