The moratorium on the installation of "ERA-GLONASS" can be extended again

The moratorium on the mandatory installation of the ERA-GLONASS system on new vehicles localized in Russia will expire on June 30th, 2022. Industry participants expect an extension of the ability to produce cars without a system (with its subsequent installation). Previously, lobbyists from the automotive industry asked the government to abandon the system because of the high cost and shortage, but the idea was rejected.

Currently, the sale of cars not equipped with emergency warning equipment is allowed. The condition for this is the obligation of car manufacturers to carry out recall campaigns to retrofit the vehicles sold with these devices. Car owners will receive information about the need for retrofitting at the stage of buying and operating cars. In accordance with the Federal Law "On Technical Regulation", all measures within the framework of recall campaigns are carried out at the expense of automakers.

Recall that since 2017, all new cars imported into Russia or sold in the country must be equipped with ERA-GLONASS modules, from which accidents are automatically reported and the exact coordinates of the car are transmitted.
