Wait 3-5 months: Chinese cars in the Russian Federation left without spare parts

New Chinese cars in China are not repaired due to the lack of spare parts. Body parts or gearboxes have to wait several months. Auto part deficit in Russia is becoming more acute. Moreover, if it was difficult to get parts to a car from the EU, Japan or Korea through sanctions, now there is a lack of components to Chinese cars. About it write "Izvestia". In 2022-2023, Chinese car manufacturers made true expansion into the Russian market.

2000 Chinese brands have been opened in the Russian Federation and new brands have emerged, but they do not work properly. Spares for machines are often simply absent. The most severe is a shortage of components to brands that have recently appeared in Russia - byd, Changan, Faw, Li Auto and Zekr. A slightly better situation with Chery, Geely and HAVAL. The main problem is logistics - dealers' spare parts are not yet, and delivery from China takes a long time.

And if small parts can still be brought by plane, then, for example, the checkpoint or body panels are expensive by air. BYD and Changan owners in the Russian Federation after an accident have to wait for the body details for 3-5 months. The alternative is the search for old spare parts on "showdowns". The share of used details in the Russian market has already reached 40%, although it is difficult to find them for rare and new models.
