Cars of Chinese brands were not in demand among car thieves in Russia. In this respect reports According to data of the Soglasie insurance company “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”. Over the past few years, the organization has never recorded cases of theft of a model from the Middle Kingdom among its customers.
“Chinese automakers are significantly increasing their sales share in the Russian market. For example, in our company alone, the share of new Chinese vehicles insured under car insurance at the end of 2023 increased almost 2.5 times compared to the previous year. It is worth noting that in almost 90% of cases, cars are stolen for disassembly and subsequent sale of components. Representatives of the Chinese automobile industry, entering the Russian market, simultaneously supplied a large amount of spare parts and also gave a warranty of 5-7 years. These factors minimize the demand for parts for Chinese cars on the black market, and theft of cars in this category is impractical,” explained Pavel Nefedov, director of the company’s insurance and product management department.
The insurer added that the rates for comprehensive insurance policies with theft coverage for Chinese brands remain among the lowest rates due to the low risk of theft. But the situation may change if the share of car thefts from the Middle Kingdom increases.

It is harmful to warm up the engine at idle for a long time in the cold season. In this respect reported “Behind the Wheel” broadcast expert Alexey Revin.
According to him, the battery drains quickly in winter. A working battery will have enough energy to start the engine but will not charge until it warms up. It can accept very little current when cooled to -30 °C.
In addition, frequent starting of the engine and long periods of idling will not protect the engine against wear, as it reduces the performance properties of the oil. Also, if it is heavily worn, deposits will accumulate faster. To solve the problem, the expert recommends sometimes going on highways and burning carbon deposits by running the engine at 4-5 thousand revolutions.
Revin noted that it is still possible to start the engine several times if the car is left sitting all winter. It is best to do this during melting and run the engine for at least half an hour. But this is not a guarantee of saving the battery from discharge, especially if it is not new and the car has devices that consume a lot of energy when the engine is not running.
Russians before saidWhen you need to warm up the car engine for longer than usual.

Details of the new Amberavto A5 electric car have been revealed​

Details about the new electric sedan "Amberavto A5", which was recently presented by the Kaliningrad plant "Avtotor", have become known.

The electric car has a MacPherson suspension at the front and multi-lever suspension at the rear. The permanent magnet electric synchronous motor produces 160bhp of power with 225Nm of torque. The traction battery has a capacity of 60.2 kWh. The range is 520 kilometres on a full charge according to the CLTC methodology. The basic equipment of the "A5 Amberavto", among other things, includes electric mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The number of truck dealers in Russia grew by 73% for the year​

The number of official dealership centres* selling trucks continues to grow in Russia. This was found out by the experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency in the course of preparation of the review "Dealer Networks. Monitoring of dealer contracts for trucks".
Thus, according to the agency, as of mid-February 2024, there were 1800 truck dealers in our country. Meanwhile, a year ago, this figure was 1,037, i.e. in February 2023 there were 763 fewer dealerships (contracts). Thus, their number increased by 73% for the last year. At the same time, 955 new contracts were concluded and 192 were cancelled.
As a rule, the growth in the number of truck dealers is due to Chinese brands, which are actively forming and developing their networks, replacing European and Japanese manufacturers that have left Russia. For example, SITRAK has 247 more dealer centres, Howo - 126, Dongfeng - 80, XCMG - 66, Shacman - 56, Dayun - 50.
