Russian media: Chinese construction equipment conquers Russia! Previously, the equipment was all labeled with "Uncle Vasya," but now it has turned into logographic text! On May 27, the article was published in Komsomolskaya Pravda. Have you noticed how fast the changes in the construction industry are happening? Previously, half of the equipment bore European brand logos, and every crane relied on its indispensable "Uncle Vasya." Now when you enter a construction site, you will be surprised to find that the old-style K-700 has been replaced by yellow, red, and blue logographic giants. Chinese manufacturers feel at home. In just the past two and a half years, delivery volumes have increased by 60%, and their share in areas like bulldozers has exceeded 70%; loaders—almost 90%! The Chinese are generally quite young: they bet on mass-market, democratic pricing and capable services. Most importantly, they quickly seized the moment when Europeans left and occupied the world market in a way we theoretically dream of. It's simple: it meets international standards and is cheaper than Western counterparts. By the way, the Chinese are not ashamed to learn from the best, introduce technology, listen to advice, and truly progress. Is this a problem for Russian producers? Well, of course. The share of domestic equipment in the bulldozer market is only 26%, and even smaller in the loader market. But the situation is not without hope. Interesting projects have appeared in the market, cooperation has emerged, and those who truly retain customers continue to sell. The most important thing is not to give up, not to wait for others to save you, but to fight for your place in the sun. The Chinese have taken over the construction sites—yes. For us, this is a challenge, and as we know, the challenges we face sometimes produce the best solutions. Netizen Pavel Chulukov said: If this is true, it's really a pity, our shame.
