Unlike automakers, most of them do not meet the criteria of strategic enterprises and are unable to qualify for loans. Offer officials will give firms access to the deferred taxes, as well as loans for working capital. In addition, officials want to fix the bug where not all the dealers could receive support for the affected industries.The Ministry of industry and trade on may 15 was sent to the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of economy and on the project of changes in the list of the most affected industries (there is a “b”). The amendments were a response to the circulation of dealers in the Ministry. Industry participants indicated that can’t use support as SMEs due to the significant turnover and number of employees. At the same time, they are not included in the list of the most affected industries due to the inconsistency of NACE codes. There have been incorporated codes of smaller groups and not common to all dealers 45.11. Now the list will be updated with the most recent code.April is the busiest in terms of a trade month, in anticipation of which the dealers have loaded the warehouses, says the head of the “Favorit motors” Vladimir Popov, and it was during this period was unexpected restrictions on the work. Sales virtually stopped and expenditures on payment of taxes, interest on loans, including for the maintenance of vehicles in warehouses, the salaries of the staff left, he continues. Behind the big trade turnovers of the dealers even in “peaceful” times are at best 2-3% return, says the General Director GK “alarm-motors” Roman Slutsky: “we are all as one, we suffer terrible losses and, most importantly, risk losing financial and economic stability. If our businesses “die”, the Russian auto industry will stand.” One state order will not help him, as 95% of its production volumes are civilian cars, he concludes.In addition to dealers in the list of victims is proposed to include manufacturers of automotive components. The head of Committee of automotive components manufacturers of AEB Alexey Belyaev notes that in General the producers in the sector are faced with the problem of falling circulation at pre-crisis costs.

He speaks about the need for companies in the industry in soft loans — to a greater extent on immediate needs, as well as deferred rent and taxes. All these measures, according to the government website, apply to all companies from the list.According to AEB, in April the market passenger cars and light commercial vehicles fell by 74%. Throughout this period not worked dealers in the largest markets of Moscow, Moscow region and St. Petersburg, and also at different times had to suspend its work the auto plants and manufacturers of components.
