How many vehicles were leased for six months?

As a part of the preparation of the monthly review "Base of leasing transactions of vehicles in all regions of the Russian Federation in 2020", the experts of the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" calculated that for 6 months of this year about 79 thousand vehicles were leased. More than a half (56%) of this amount belonged to cars, which is 44.3 thousand units. Approximately every seventh deal was made in relation to LCVs (11.6 thousand units), and almost every fourth deal was made in relation to trucks (20.5 thousand units). And only about 3% of all transactions were occupied by buses (2.2 thousand units).

According to the results of the first half of the year, about 12% of leased vehicles were registered to individuals, which is equivalent to 9 thousand cars. Accordingly, the remaining approximately 70 thousand units, or more than 88%, were bought by legal entities. It is also worth noting that in June the number of leasing transactions for motor vehicles reached 15.3 thousand units. If we compare this indicator with the results of other months, then it is second only to the March one (19.8 thousand units). At the same time, the least amount of leasing transactions was made in April (9.1 thousand units) - against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic.
