The Russian government has granted the largest automakers a deferral on paying the vehicle recycling (scrappage) fee, while the Ministry of Industry and Trade (Minpromtorg) is preparing to change the calculation mechanism for this fee on cars imported from Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries starting April 1. The move affects major car manufacturers operating in Russia and could alter cost structures for both domestic producers and importers within the EAEU framework. These adjustments signal ongoing state management of financial burdens on the auto sector amid evolving industrial and trade priorities.
