2021: Snowmobile production in Russia increased by 20.4%, to 12.3 thousand snowmobiles
In 2021, 12.3 thousand snowmobiles were produced in Russia, which exceeded the volume of a year ago by 20.4%, and deliveries of this product abroad amounted to 7.4 thousand units. This was announced on February 3, 2022 in the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The largest manufacturer of snowmobiles is the company "Russian Mechanics," based in the Yaroslavl region. In 2021, it produced 7.4 thousand vehicles. The top three also included Zhukovsky Cycling Plant LLC (Bryansk Region) with 3 thousand delivered snowmobiles and Irbis Motors LLC (Moscow Region), which produced 1.9 thousand units.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade added that the demand for snowmobiles is showing growth, especially in the Far Eastern and Siberian regions, in whose climatic conditions such equipment is in demand. Against the background of the growing interest of Russians in all-terrain tourism, a working group on the development of this direction was created on the basis of Rostourism at the end of 2021. The Ministry of Industry and Trade believes that first of all it is necessary to form a regulatory and legal framework to ensure high-quality and safe rest of citizens.
In early February 2022, the head of the Committee on Economic Policy of the Federation Council Andrei Kutepov (representing the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg) and his deputy Alexei Sinitsyn (representing Kuzbass) developed and sent to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin a bill aimed at developing snowmobile tourism. The document amends a number of regulatory acts, including traffic rules. Caterpillar motor vehicles, which mainly include snowmobiles, are proposed to be allowed to move along the common carriageway "in order to cross it or move on the bridge." It is also proposed to prohibit turning left or turning on a road where there is more than one lane for driving in each direction or there are tram tracks, as well as introduce the requirement to ride a snowmobile only in a fastened helmet.[1]
