Russian analysts originally thought that the Russian market had sold 234,000 vehicles in the first half of this year, so the Russian auto market could sell 470,000 to 480,000 trucks throughout the year. However, the unexpected global financial turmoil has caused the Russian commercial vehicle market to turn down sharply from August 2008, and the 18% to 20% growth expectation has been lost.
The Russian media recently pointed out that the sales volume of trucks on the Russian market in 2008 is estimated at 425,000 vehicles, and the year-on-year increase will fall to single digits, which may not exceed 7%!
Same disease
In the face of shrinking cakes in the Russian commercial vehicle market, Russian domestic manufacturers have also had to cut back on production cuts.
Although the Russian government has increased the country’s ordering and loan support, in the face of a shrinking market, the Golgi automobile plant, the leading manufacturer of heavy truck production in Russia, the Kama automobile factory and the mainstream manufacturer in the light truck production sector, has been forced to issue new products. New risk prevention measures.
The truck sales of Kama Automobile Factory decreased by 33.7% in October from the previous month, almost a half of that in August. Just because of the good momentum of development in the first half of the year, the sales volume in the first 10 months was only slightly higher than last year, with cumulative sales of nearly 45,000 vehicles. However, the factory's export volume in the first 10 months fell by 10.7%, reducing more than 1,200 vehicles. In October alone, the truck's export volume decreased by 55% compared with expectations. In some overseas markets, sales of Kamaz trucks have even dropped by nearly 80% due to the decline in consumer purchasing power.
Now the factory's weekly working hours have been reduced to 4 days, and some workshops produce less time. After the recent announcement of 10% layoffs, the factory plans to start the majority of employees for a month off from December and only pay 2/3 of the salary. In the development of a new generation of trucks, investment will also be significantly reduced.
Russia’s Golgi, the overlord of the light commercial vehicle market, is also considering reducing its weekly working time to three days and compressing the weekly production volume of light commercial vehicles from 1,000 to 400 vehicles to meet the current market demand.
Falling prophecy
Has the sustained growth of the Russian commercial vehicle market in the past few years been stricken by the global financial storm?
In addition to seasonal factors, the loss of credit support is also the cause of the cooling of the Russian commercial vehicle market. Under the double strangling of high down payments and high interest rates, the rapid growth of the Russian commercial vehicle market is difficult to sustain.
More importantly, due to the global financial crisis as well as the decline in world oil prices, the Russian economy has brought a greater negative impact. This has led to a decline in Russian consumers’ purchasing power and at the same time reduced the Russian government’s investment in infrastructure.
In the case of a large amount of investment in Russia's infrastructure construction in the next few years, the sales volume of hot dump trucks will undoubtedly be affected. Moscow State Government has revealed that the state’s investment in roads will definitely be less than in 2008.
Russian experts believe that the future development of the Russian commercial vehicle market will directly depend on the time when the Russian economy overcomes the negative impact of the financial crisis.
However, in view of the severe economic situation Russia is currently facing, the growth of the Russian commercial vehicle market in the next two or three years will obviously slow down.
If the effect of the Russian government's rescue measures is normal, then the sales volume of Russian cargo vehicles in 2009 is likely to decline to about 350,000, a negative growth of 18% to 25%.
Squeezed space
Although Russia's implementation of the Euro III emission standard began in 2008, some Chinese auto manufacturers that failed to obtain Euro III certification in a timely manner experienced a temporary decline in sales at the beginning of the year. However, from the first half of 2008, the Chinese auto manufacturers were Great progress has been made in the truck segment with a mass of more than 16 tons. China National Heavy Duty Truck, FAW, and Dongfeng are prominent. China National Heavy Duty Trucks’ heavy-duty truck ranks fourth in Russia’s heavy truck imports.
FAW and Dongfeng heavy dump trucks also entered the Russian market in 2008. The sales of Beiqi Futian in Russia in the first half of 2008 have also doubled...
However, the decline of the Russian economy, the commercial vehicle market in Russia fell into a downturn, hitting the momentum of the development of Chinese commercial vehicles in Russia. Perhaps, in the future, China's commercial vehicle manufacturers will face another uncertain factor in Russia.
The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev who just attended the APEC Lima Summit pointed out that although it is necessary to counteract the effects of the international financial crisis to artificially create international trade bulwarks, the state should rationally and adequately protect its own producers.
The shrinking market, the local manufacturers to be rescued, and the government that protects its own producers clearly show that the space for the development of commercial vehicle manufacturers in Russia in the next two years will be squeezed...
Ion exchange resin is a crucial component used in glass fiber reinforced plastic pressure tanks to effectively remove both anions and cations present in water, ultimately softening the water.
The ion exchange resin works through a process known as ion exchange, where it replaces undesired ions in the water with more desirable ones. This resin is typically made up of small, porous beads that contain charged functional groups.
When water passes through the pressure tank containing the ion exchange resin, the resin beads attract and retain the unwanted anions and cations present in the water. These unwanted ions, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and sulfates, are exchanged with more desirable ions like sodium or potassium.
The exchange process occurs as the water flows through the resin bed, allowing the resin beads to selectively trap the unwanted ions and release the desired ions. This effectively removes the minerals responsible for water hardness and replaces them with softer ions, resulting in softened water.
Softened water offers various benefits, including preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances, improving the efficiency of water heaters, reducing soap scum and residue on surfaces, and providing better lathering and cleaning capabilities.
