How many cars were registered in 2016?
The motorization of the state, albeit at a slower pace due to sanctions and crisis phenomena, continued in early 2016. For every 1,000 Russians, there were 283 registered cars, 11 more than a year ago. Primorye and the Kamchatka Territory became the leaders in terms of provision of cars, which was due to the import of used Japanese foreign cars through the Far East. There was a decline in re-exports, when residents of neighboring countries bought cars in Russia (the exchange rate of the ruble made such purchases profitable for those who saved for a car in dollars), but they registered them in their countries. According to the State traffic inspectorate, at the end of February 2016, the increase in the number of registered cars was 1.5% compared to the same period in 2015. The indicators of the official traffic police resource indicate that over 10 years, the Russian car fleet has grown by about 65%. Statistics by types of registered vehicles are presented in Table 1.

Conclusion
The last decade, according to the traffic police, is marked by an increase in the private car fleet by 65%. The traditional increase in registration is one and a half percent, which is typical for the post-crisis years. The capital and the Moscow region are the leaders in terms of provision of vehicles, which leads to increased traffic jams and accidents on the roads. At the same time, against the backdrop of world capitals, Moscow looks very modest, since it is not among the ten cities with the most congested road system. The leaders in the number of registrations are passenger cars, trucks and motorcycles are significantly inferior to them, and buses are among the outsiders.
In some rich countries, there are almost as many cars as people. In some parts of the world, a car is an essential attribute of life, in many others, “iron horses” are used less frequently.

However, it is interesting what other subjects of the Russian Federation were included in the rating of regions with the largest number of registered cars? According to the data received at the end of 2014, the largest number of cars was registered in the Central federal district- 12,228,332 copies. This is followed by the Volga Federal District with 8,766,794 cars and then the Siberian Federal District with 5,550,937 cars.
TOP-10 regions of Russia by the number of cars registered with the state:
- Moscow region (including Moscow) - 6,428,339 vehicles
- Leningrad region (including St. Petersburg) - 3,810,256 vehicles
- Krasnodar Territory - 1,688,471 vehicles
- Sverdlovsk region - 1,441,256 vehicles
- Rostov region - 1,299,788 vehicles
- Republic of Bashkortostan - 1,250,776 vehicles
- Tyumen region - 1,176,441 vehicles
- Chelyabinsk region - 1,079,934 vehicles
- Republic of Tatarstan - 1,057,747 vehicles
- Nizhny Novgorod Region– 1,046,445 vehicles
It is also known: according to the data for 11 months of 2014, in addition to the capitals, the Republic of Tatarstan, the Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Samara Region, the Sverdlovsk Region, the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the Rostov Region, the Chelyabinsk Region, the Perm Territory and the Khanty-Mansiysk Region became leaders autonomous region(arranged in descending order by number of cars).
The rating that reveals is also curious. In terms of buying new cars with the highest weighted average price, Nakhodka leads the way, followed by Ussuriysk, Artyom, Vladivostok, Moscow, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Khabarovsk, Khimki, Irkutsk and Sochi.
Recently it became known that: according to the traffic police, more than 45% of cars registered in the country are 10 years old (inclusive) and more. Only 5.4% of motorists can afford to drive cars whose age does not exceed one year, and another 13.4% of car owners drive passenger vehicles whose age is from 1 to 3 years.
The regions most provided with cars in terms of every thousand inhabitants, according to the rating of AA "AUTOSTAT", are Primorsky Krai (572 units) and Kamchatka Krai (458 units). Experts believe that one of the reasons for such high figures is that used foreign cars from Japan are imported through the Far East. It is possible that some of them, "leaving" deep into the country, continues to be registered in Primorye and Kamchatka. The actual provision in these regions may be at the level of other leaders in the rating - 300-350 cars per 1000 inhabitants.
The third place in terms of the number of cars per thousand inhabitants was taken by the Kaluga region (344 cars), the fourth - the Moscow region (340 cars). The Kaliningrad region closes the top five (336 units per 1,000 inhabitants). The top 10 regions in terms of car supply include the Pskov region (334 cars), Karelia (329 cars), Ryazan and Tyumen regions (312 cars each) and Moscow (311 cars/1000 inhabitants).
Rating of regions of the Russian Federation by provision of cars per thousand inhabitants
The leader in terms of motorization, according to Avtostat, was the Yaroslavl region with an increase of 11.3% (226 cars per thousand inhabitants). This figure increased by 11% in the Republic of Mari El (181 units). The provision of cars increased by more than 10% in the Ivanovo region (195 units, +10.8%) and the Chuvash Republic (192 units, +10.3%).
“Provision with cars in Russia is still 2 times lower than in developed European countries, and 3 times lower than in the USA. At the same time, it is growing from year to year. And even in the absence of positive market dynamics, this indicator will continue to grow steadily,” notes Sergey Tselikov, director of the Avtostat analytical agency. - According to our estimates, in about 8–10 years, the provision indicator will approach the level of countries of Eastern Europe- 400 cars per 1000 inhabitants.
