OREANDA-NEWS  German car brands may return to Russia in 2025, as the German car industry suffered serious damage after the imposition of sanctions, Ulf Schneider, head of the Schneider Group consulting company, said in an interview with the Berliner Zeitung.

He noted that German automakers need to hurry back to Russia in order not to lose the local car market for a long time.

According to Schneider, China quickly took over the car market and the niche of spare parts production, which became vacant after the departure of German companies.

According to his estimates, if restrictions on the supply of German cars to Russia, such as BMW and Mercedes, are lifted in the coming year, then Russians will start buying German cars again.


The Schneider Group company was founded in 2003 and has been active in Russia since that time. The description on the organization's website indicates that the company provides consulting services to enter the markets of Eastern Europe, including Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.

Schneider Group operates in Russia and has offices in Moscow and St. Petersburg. According to the data hh.ru There are currently 21 vacancies in the company.
