Which counties prefer right-hand drive cars?

According to the analytical agency AUTOSTAT, as of January 1st, 2020, in our country there were more than 3.4 million right-hand drive cars.

Almost 90% of them are in the Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts, and more than half of the total number (about 1.8 million units) in the Far Eastern Federal District. In the remaining six districts, the number of right-hand drive cars is less than 150 thousand units: from 131 thousand (in the Urals) to 13 thousand (in the North-West Federal District).

According to agency experts, in general, right-hand drive cars have 7.6% of the whole passenger fleet of the Russian Federation. But in different federal districts, this figure is noticeably different. For example, in the Far Eastern Federal District, their share is the highest - 68.5%, that is, right-hand drive cars form two-thirds of the local park. In the Siberian Federal District, this indicator slightly exceeds 25%, which is equivalent to every fourth car.

In other federal districts, the share of right-hand drive cars is less than 4%. And least of all it is in the Volga and North-Western districts - only 0.3%.
