Every fifth passenger car in Russia is Euro-5 and higher

In our country, there are over 9 million passenger cars that meet the environmental standards "Euro-5" and "Euro-6". According to the experts of the AUTOSTAT agency, in total, they have 21% of the Russian fleet, i.e. about every fifth car. Let us remind you that since January 1st, 2016, the Euro-5 standard has been valid in Russia (for manufactured and imported vehicles). As of July 1st, 2020, 8.9 million passenger cars of this standard have already been registered in the country. And about 440 thousand more are already Euro-6 cars. It should be noted that it is in the passenger segment the largest share of vehicles of the Euro-5 standard and higher is recorded. So, for trucks, this figure is almost 7%, among LCVs - even lower (6.4%), and for buses it does not even reach 3%.
