Used in the war in Ukraine: Japan will prohibit the supply of used cars to the Russian Federation

Japan will prohibit exports in Russian cars with engines of more than 1. 9 liters, as well as all electric vehicles and hybrids. On a monthly basis, Russian ports take 20,000 old cars from the country of ascending sun. The Japan Government is preparing to impose restrictions on the supply of cars with mileage to Russia. The corresponding decision will be made by the end of July and it will come into force in August. About it writes the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri.

Panoline and diesel used cars with a engine volume of more than 1. 9 liters, as well as absolutely all without exception, hybrids and electric vehicles will fall under sanctions. New restrictions are similar to the prohibitions introduced by EU countries. Thanks to them, most right -handed cars from Japan will be banned. One of the reasons for the ban is the use of Japanese cars with high volume engines in the war against Ukraine.

In particular, the video of the recent blow to the location of Russian troops in Oleshki shows a toyota minivan with right steering. Recall that Japanese carmakers stopped supplying new cars to the Russian Federation in March 2022. Around the same time, Russian companies for the preparation of Japanese brands were stopped. Then a restriction on the supply of used cars worth more than 6 million yen ($ 43,400) was imposed.
