2 July 2019

Analysts said RAMR production and bus market in the CIS over the past 3.5 years

Analysts RAMR was the analysis of bus market of Russia and CIS countries from 2016 to January-April of 2019.
Naturally, the largest bus producers in the CIS are Russia (since 1926) and Belarus (since 1992). However, in recent years actively increased the production volumes of buses and Uzbekistan, and entered the Top 3 producing countries.

For the first 4 months of 2019 Uzbekistan even overtook Belarus in the volumes of buses, which is not surprising in view of the sharp reduction of deliveries of MAZ buses to Russia. The buses MAZ now has a status of cars, not domestic cars (as it was for quite a long time), with appropriate restrictions on public procurement.

Interestingly, in 2017, for example, Kazakhstan has made 79% more buses than in 2016. However, by the end of 2018, the bus production in Kazakhstan fell sharply to a value lower than the result of 2016, which is associated with the introduction of the utilization fee and the devaluation of the local currency. However, in the first quarter of 2019 bus production in Kazakhstan rose by 6.8 times (!), to 0.15 thousand

Kazakhstan has increased dramatically in 2019 bus production, but imports also plays a big role, for example, in 2019 for Alma-ATA was purchased semi-low-floor LiAZ-5293

Leaders in export of buses to the CIS market remain Russia (mainly mark PAZ is a picture of the latest model Vector 8.8 Next on the splash screen) and Belarus.
