Lived or died? Russian truck factories under sanctions. Results of 2022, plans for 2023

How successfully do Russian truck companies resist Western sanctions, what results did they show and how did they survive in 2022, what will surprise them in 2023?

Quite honestly, I am impressed with the ability of the a Russian companies to overcome Western sanctions. Not what the US/EU expected for sure.

I love Russian off-road trucks. Support from Czechia, you will make it. ;-)

I like URAL, I wish I can purchase one in Slovakia .

Recently I noticed a news in a western journal that Russia can't produce motor vehicles. But what I'm seeing

[hadifaridi]

To be independent, it is must and to relay on ourselves. Not west.😊❤

Kamaz ist für mich persönlich einer der Top Hersteller für LKWs für spezielle Anforderungen wie sie in Russland und vielen anderen Teilen der Welt zu finden sind.Glaube da macht Ihnen keiner etwas vor.Ob sie allerdings zB.in Westeuropa im Fernverkehr mit halten können, wage ich zu bezweifeln.Aber das ist nicht so schlimm.Das gesamte Team von Kamaz, URAL und anderen Namhaften Herstellern aus der GUS machen Ihre Arbeit gut 👍und das trotz Sanktionen.Das zeigen auch die Erfolge einst bei der Rallye Dakar.Macht weiter so👍Ich persönlich würde gerne einen dieser LKWs testen unter den Bedingungen für die sie mal gemacht wurden sind.Grüße aus Sachsen/Deutschland

URAL TRUCKS are among the most durable and for all terrain in World.

Haha, all it needs to build trucks is owned by themselves. And these trucks are way better than the US crap.

Russian brother, keep sanctions against the West forever. You don't need West for anything. Serbian people are 100% with you

I think many people mix up quality of finish, with rugged and durable. Russian cars and trucks are often derided because they tend to have low quality finishing, no air conditioning, ugly design. But they are very durable and can endure temperature, terrain extremes. Some offroad enthusiasts have even found old Ladas comparable with new Jeeps and Land Rovers when crossing difficult roads.
I'm pretty sure most of these trucks are going to be uncomfortable and unfashionable. But the trucker won't have to worry about breaking down on a snowy Siberian road 1000km from anywhere else at -50C. Your average Mercedes truck is less survivable.

God bless Russia 🇷🇺💪 from Philippines 🇵🇭💪🙏🤲

I pretty much expected this. Sanctions are an opportunity to stimulate local manufacture. "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger".

Alangkah baik Rusia buka industri otomotif dan alat pertanian di Indonesia, jumlah pendududuk Indonesia +/- 270 juta jiwa, dan negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia . Hanya 2 musim, musim panas dan musim hujan, tanah sangat subur, berlimpah air .juga terdata jumlah gunung berapi terbanyak di dunia .
Ayo....industri Rusia ke Indonesia, pangsa pasar sangat luas di Asean .❤

congrats Russia. The world are with you.

I have a lot of admiration for the production of Russian vehicles and in particular the production of utility vehicles. Russia has managed to maintain very honest production quality, good equipment reliability and above all reparability accessible to all mechanics, including the depths of the Tundra. Today's Western vehicles are too fragile, almost disposable. Kind regards, a European citizen nostalgic for a time when we knew how to make good vehicles.

god bless the sanctions, now the russian economy is booming

Professional. Russia. Technology. World. Champion. KAMAZ. From. Hungary

I think that if there is a problem it's not in Russia, but in Europe. Russian truck factories have no problem to continue their works.
