According to data from Jato Dynamics, the Russian car market is down 48.7% from January to June, compared to the same period in 2008, despite government incentives for locally-produced brands. The government has announced a new scrappage incentive of 50,000 RUR (1,125 EUR) for 2010.
Lada was the best-seling brand, with one quarter of the market.
The only segment posting a sales increase was the Medium MPV category, thanks to the introduction of the Nissan Qashqai. The Large SUV segment fell only 5.6%, while small and city car segments have each halved and the mini MPV segment fell by 61%.
