Russian auto manufacturers refused Rosmolodezh in the rally

Russian automakers refused to cooperate with Rosmolodezh in organizing a large -scale action - the International Youth Auto Railway "Victory roads", which starts on May 5.

According to Izvestia , the Rosmolodezhi "discouraged" the results of the search for sponsors among Russian automakers, who took several months. “Automobile manufacturers were asked for three cars, possibly with drivers at the expense of the organizers. At least from the idea of ​​popularizing the Russian automobile industry, ”complained the press secretary of the project Larisa Achkinova.

“Flaps came from everywhere. Of some companies - even in a rough form,” complains the head of the rally Sergey Guzev. For example, orally and “in rude uniform” refused Sollers (UAZ brand).

“We sent an official letter to Sollers addressed to the head of the marketing department. After some time, they replied that participation did not interest them. But they refused to send an official refusal, ”says Sergey Guzev, the head of the rally, however, does not talk about a rough form.

They simply refused the GAZ group, “Shevi-Niva”, in “AvtoVAZ” they generally ignored the appeal.

The car manufacturers, for their part, indicated to the Namers that, with all the patriotic orientation of the event, a waste of funds was organized poorly, the program was not serious, there is no media plan, etc. "In fact, they just told us - give the cars and that’s all. Who works like that?"

The only Russian company that agreed to support the project is Chechenavto (in 2012, according to the plan, 5 thousand cars will be made) on the personal order of the President of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov.
