Corporate fleet AWD trucks is increasing from East to North

The concentration of AWD trucks to the corporate parks of the Russian Federation the largest in the Northern and Eastern regions of the country

The value of all-wheel drive that improves the flow of cars to our still vast country is undeniable. This is especially true of trucks, which are in the Northern and Asian regions are often the only type of vehicles including, naturally, shift buses on truck chassis, which provides a transport link between remote settlements, production facilities, military units, etc., etc., and also the technological works in quarries, at construction and road construction works. Even the maintenance of Railways in these regions is often impossible without special vehicles of four-wheel drive truck chassis. Operate four-wheel drive trucks and utilities in these regions.

In this regard, RAMR presented some interesting figures on the share of four-wheel drive truck in the corporate parks of the country. So, on July 1, 2018, the corporate Park of trucks in Russia is 1 million 814,6 thousand While trucks with four-wheel drive, including wheel formulae 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 and 10x10, take the 21,6% of the total corporate fleet of trucks.

The following chart is perfectly clear that all-wheel drive trucks are the basis of corporate parks in some of the Asian regions of Russia – Chukotka (share of 75.9 percent), Yamalo-Nenets (75,8%), Nenets (73,2%) and Khanty-Mansiysk (70,9%) Autonomous okrugs (AO), heading a Top-10 regions by the share of the Park poluprovodnikov with shares exceeding 70%, while the regions are lagging behind by a large margin. So, in the Komi Republic, the share of corporate all-wheel drive only slightly exceeds 51%, followed by the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) with 46.9 per cent, Tomsk (38,4%) and Magadan (36%) region, Khabarovsk (35,4%) and Kamchatka (33.9%) of the region. However, even in the last in the Top 10 region, the share of all-wheel drive in the corporate parks is more than a third (despite the fact that here, even in corporate parks, a large share of imported trucks).

By contrast, cargo vehicles with all-wheel drive as more expensive in cost, more expensive maintenance and difficult to repair in the calculation of the tonne-km of useful work, and throughout the lifecycle of a car, the least popular in the Western and southern regions of the European part of the country where historically there is a fairly extensive network of paved roads.

Top 10 "antiliderov" on a full drive, respectively, are: Kaliningrad (6,8%), Smolensk (8,8%), Voronezh (8,85%) and Rostov (9,4%) region, Saint-Petersburg, Russia (9,5%), Belgorod oblast (9.7 per cent). In these regions trucks with all-wheel drive is less than 10% of the corporate fleet. Are adjacent to the regions with a share only slightly greater than 10% and yet less than 11% – Lipetsk oblast (10,1%), the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia (10,14%), Mordovia Republic (10.3 per cent) and Moscow (10.7 per cent).
