Russia’s War With Ukraine & Its Impact On Auto Industry
Russia’s war declaration on Ukraine and its devastating recent visuals have had a negative impact worldwide. Not only emotionally, but this event has affected economies greatly. The global automakers with each sanction against Russia are expecting supply lines, production and workforce to take the blow of it. Europe’s home automakers will be affected the most as a consequence of supply lines freezing up. The US government’s announcement of broad export sanctions against Russia gives a bigger picture of reduced access to global exports of commercial electronics, computers, semiconductors, and even aircraft parts. Recently, automobile giants like Volkswagen and Renault have hinted at plans to either move or shut down their production operations after Russia’s aggressive move. Apart from it, the Korean automotive sector giants Hyundai and Kia’s massive manufacturing presence in Russia stress the Automotive Industry. The Domino effect has just started; with each aggressive step of Russia, the impact on Russian automotive dealers is increasing substantially. The names include Land Rover’s Tata Group, Porsche, Skoda and many more. The series of events include shipment halt to local dealer orders and Russian partners from the day of the invasion, i.e., February 24. The pieces of evidence of it can be found loud and clear in the Russian-language business paper Vedomosti. The truth remains unclear, but the impact cannot be masked with a lack of truth right now. Though the shipment may resume down the line concerning the improving situation, an overlooked side of this situation is shipment halt with the need of optimized logistic requirements from the automaker’s side in the situation of the war. It is also a precautionary measure given the global sanctions against Russia. Either way, the Automotive Industry remains affected at this instance. The companies are restraining themselves under public pressure to keep a healthy distance from the aggressor.

Ukraine is even a source of rare gases like neon, krypton, xenon, and more. The import statistics of these gases of Korea is 23%, 30.7% and 17.8%, respectively. The Korean Automotive Manufacturer’s Association is expecting a sales drop owing to imports. While Hyundai and Kiaproduce
230,000 cars annually in Russia through their facilities in Palisade and St. Petersburg, these facilities are expected to assist them in exports to North America and the rest of Europe this year.

Renault, Stellantis & Toyota
Are they facing trouble too? YES! Russia’s war is something that the world never saw coming, especially as it has just started healing from the global wounds of COVID-19. It is not that just Hyundai and Kia are affected; many major global automakers like Renault and its affiliate brands, Stellantis and its affiliate brands, and Toyota have a significant manufacturing presence in Russia. Renault Group has the second-largest sales market in Russia. Stellantis, on the other hand, has shown a promising overall sales growth of 65%, doubling the production in their car factory in Kaluga, Russia. Their recent plan to export commercial vehicles from this factory seems to be on hold given the war situation and broader supply chain issues. In Shushary, Russia, Toyota’s factory is where the Camry has been manufactured for decades now for localized production. The impact on it due to the full-blown Russian invasion in Ukraine remains unclear. The company has not yet made any statements concerning the same.
