The Ministry of Industry and Trade recommended that officials buy Lada, Aurus, UAZ, Moskvich and Haval

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has compiled a list of vehicles recommended for purchase for civil servants. The list includes cars from the Lada, Aurus, UAZ, Moskvich brands, as well as the Chinese Evolute and Haval. The press service of the ministry reported this.

The list included:

• Lada brand (models: Vesta, Vesta SW Cross, Granta, Niva Travel, Niva Legend),
• UAZ brand (models: “Patriot”, “Pickup”, “Profi”, “Hunter”, SGR),
• Aurus brand (models: Senat, Komendant),
• brand “Moskvich” (models: 3, 3e, 6),
• Evolute brand (models: I-Pro, I-Joy, I-Sky),
• Haval brand (models: Jolion, Dargo, F7/F7x, H9).

First of all, it is recommended to purchase highly localized models. The purchase of cars with a localization level below the threshold value for government procurement (in 2023 – at least 3.2 thousand points) can be carried out with a special permit from the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The list will be updated as new models are released.

“This decision contributes both to supporting demand for Russian cars and to the further development of the domestic automotive industry, increasing production volumes and modernizing production, and improving the model range,” believe the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

On August 3, President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with management of manufacturing industry enterprises statedthat all officials should drive domestically produced cars. Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin saidthat State Duma deputies have agreed to switch to domestic cars this fall.
