According to David Thomas, Chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers Committee, such an increase gives a sense of stabilization of the market in the last quarter of 2011. In this regard, the AEB increases forecast sales of new cars and light commercial vehicles up to 2. 55 million in 2011 and provides a preliminary forecast for the next year to 2.8 million vehicles sold and an increase of 12% compared to the current year. So 2012 may be the most successful year for the Russian automotive industry after 2008, when sales reached 2.9 million vehicles. Sale Avtovazovskoe "classics" show a rapid fall in demand for these cars. So, in October sales fell by 58% compared with the same month of the previous year. In this regard, the recent application of Igor Komarov on the reduction of production "sevens" and "fours" at "IzhAvto" seems quite logical.
