Automotive Investments: Climate in Russia, Focus on St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region
The Russian components industry
➤ Lack of the traditional tier division of component
manufacturers due to the high level of integration with the
major OEMs;
► Lack of a competitive technologies among Russian
manufacturers as a legacy of the highly integrated vehicle
manufacturing coupled with highly amortized equipment make
most local component manufacturers not that attractive;
► The relatively long-term process of adapting new technologies
and applying know-how to local manufacturers;
Economies of scale are a must for attracting major foreign
component manufacturers (most require a good over 200,000
units of car production in order to make an investment
economically viable).
