Farewell, Skoda and Toyota: what are the employees of the interior Ministry

The departmental garage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs radically changes the composition. If earlier on the roads you could meet Skoda, Toyota or Volkswagen, now the priority of the Russian automotive industry and Chinese brands. This is dictated by the rules of public procurement: in the presence of a suitable application from a domestic supplier, foreign proposals are rejected by the mechanism of “second superfluous”.

What are the law enforcement officers doing now?

Muscovites on the front lines

Moscow patrols are actively replenished with liftbacks "Moskvich 6" (in fact, it is an adapted Chinese JAC A5 Plus). The machine is spacious, equipped with a variator or "robot". The company it consists of crossovers "Moskvich 3" with special painting and flashing lights, which are also used in data center and Regardie.

Workers from AvtoVAZ

The Lada Granta is the most budgetary and popular option for the regions. For more rapid response in the region buy Lada Vesta with engines up to 122 hp, and for difficult off-road choose time-tested Lada Niva Legend.

UAZ and the “Clad” Chinese

In Penza and KhMAO, car parks were replenished with brutal UAZ Patriot with a powerful 2.7-liter engine.

A curious fact: the previously popular Haval F7 crossovers for the police are now deprived of their native nameplates, receiving the official DPS emblem. And in the Arkhangelsk region noticed mysterious cars under the new brand Rosva Motors. In fact, this is a remade Citroën C5 Aircross Kaluga assembly with a 175-horsepower engine and a classic “automatic”, writes Autonews.ru.
