      Society. Leonid Olshansky, Vice President of the Russian Motorists' Movement, proposed measures to support the domestic auto industry. He advocated for free passage for Russian cars on toll roads, the provision of free parking spaces, and tax reductions for car manufacturers.

      However, Yan Haiteser, Vice President of the National Automobile Union, expressed disagreement with these initiatives. In a conversation with the "360" television channel, he emphasized that all Russian citizens should have equal rights, including access to both paid and free roads. Haiteser believes that to increase demand for domestic cars, they need to be made more affordable, reliable, and safe, rather than granted privileges.

      The expert noted that the future of automobile manufacturing in Russia exists but is not as close as desired. He also highlighted the importance of integrating with global manufacturers, which could help reduce production costs.

      Haiteser called for a reassessment of investment allocation, suggesting a reduction in marketing and top management salaries, which, in his opinion, do not correspond to the wages of engineers, technical staff, and assembly line workers.
