From April 18 to April 24, 2022, 8913 new vehicles were sold in Russia. According to the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT", following the results of processing the relevant data of JSC "Electronic Passport" (EPTS), for the third week of April, sales of automotive equipment were 13% higher than for the second week. Thus, last week, Russians purchased more new cars (+19% to 6567 units), LCVs (+11% to 1059 units) and buses (+4% to 159 units) than in the period from April 11 to 17. But new trucks were purchased in the amount of 1128 units, which is 8% lower than a week earlier.

Agency experts also note that for the last three weeks of April, the total volume of the Russian car market was 25.2 thousand units. In other words, more than 1,000 new vehicles were sold in average every day in April. Thus, the final volume of sales for the whole of April is likely to exceed 30,000 units. And it will be about three times lower than in March.
