Russian parc of motor vehicles exceeds 2 million units

According to the analytic agency "AUTOSTAT", in Russia there are 2 million 375 thousand motorcycles (as of January 1st, 2018). This parc is very old - 90% of all motorcycles in the country are aged over 15 years. In many ways, it is connected with the fact that the basis of this parc includes vehicles that were released in the Soviet period. So, about every third motorcycle belongs to the brand "IZH" (753 thousand units), every seventh is "Ural" (346 thousand units), and every tenth - "Voshod" (237 thousand units).

In total, the share of domestic brands accounted for 80% or 1.9 million units of motor vehicles. Accordingly, only every fifth motorcycle in Russia has the foreign origin. They are usually represented by Japanese (share - 8.3%), Czech (6.4%) and Chinese (2.7%) brands. In total in our country there are about 470 thousand foreign motorcycles.

The most common here are the models Jawa (151 thousand units), Honda (75 thousand units) and Yamaha (58 thousand units). The entire TOP-5 of model rating also consists of products of the domestic, mostly Soviet automotive industry. Leading here is IZH-Jupiter (473 thousand units), which accounts for every fifth motorcycle in the country. In addition to this model, IZH-Planet (233 thousand units), ZID-Voshod (229 thousand units), “Ural 8.103” (194 thousand units) and “Minsk 3.112” (131 thousand units) are in the top five.
