Conditions of the Russian Tractor program in 2022 - who can participate and under what conditions

In recent years, the state has been actively subsidizing the purchase of vehicles and residential premises, helping entrepreneurs expand their businesses, ordinary citizens to acquire housing and cars, and developers and car factories to develop. One of the subsidy programs is the Russian tractor program, which provides preferential leasing for individuals, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. From this article you will learn what this state program is, how to participate in it, what requirements are imposed on the participant, how much participation in the project helps you save, and when/where to apply for paperwork.

What is the Russian Tractor program?

1.25 billion rubles were allocated for the implementation of the Russian Tractor program in 2022.

According to the terms of the fairly new state subprogram “Russian Tractor”, individuals and legal entities, as well as individual entrepreneurs, have the opportunity to take advantage of preferential leasing. The benefit of the purchaser and the assistance of the state is that the buyer of the vehicle pays a down payment of 12.5% less than if he did not act within the framework of the program. This money will be paid additionally to the leasing organization from the federal budget in the form of compensation so that their income does not suffer from the program due to a loss of revenue.

Initially, when the state program only began to operate, the discount on the payment of the down payment under the leasing agreement was only 10%. However, the program showed positive results, and therefore, to further stimulate demand for Russian-made tractors, the Government increased the subsidy amount. But do not forget about the restrictions - the discount is equal to 12.5% of the cost of transport, but cannot exceed 625,000 rubles. Nevertheless, the benefit is quite significant, and therefore people who did not have the opportunity to purchase vehicles before began to apply for leasing of heavy wheeled equipment.

All-terrain vehicles for the Red Army

All-terrain vehicles served in the interests of the army, as they provided excellent maneuverability in rough terrain, off-road conditions and rainy weather. A lot depended on this technology, including the lives of soldiers and officers, the safety of equipment and ammunition, and logistics. The vehicles had different modifications from each other, coping with different military tasks. Short platforms for cargo transportation indicate the primary purpose of the vehicles - towing artillery systems. Testing of the tractors in question was completed in 1934, and the results were more than good.

For what purpose was it introduced?

Although the development of small and medium-sized businesses in Russia is an important area of investing in the economy, the introduction of preferential car leasing programs and subprograms was due to the Government’s desire to stimulate demand for vehicles of domestic manufacturers and promote the production of commercial vehicles. Russia needs to renew the fleet of equipment of the domestic automobile industry.

The program is to some extent designed for representatives of the Russian automobile industry - with its help, the state is going to help concentrate the production/assembly of vehicles in our country without involving foreign factories.

Together with preferential car loan programs, car leasing projects are designed to increase the level of localization of production. As soon as this happens, the Government plans to increase the level of state support.

Here, as they say, no comments: before entering the production line in 2007, KAMAZ 5360 went through the design and testing stages, and the first samples, shown back in 1996, sported a cab from the DAF 95. In fact, the “Experimental” vehicles even They don’t try to hide it - the nameplates on the side doors speak for themselves. The serial 5360 received a traditional KAMAZ cab with an integrated bumper and rectangular headlights, becoming a completely ordinary flatbed truck in the company’s model range.

Enterprises participating in the Russian Tractor program

Currently, 41 leasing companies are participating in the state program. This is exactly the number of leading domestic organizations that are ready to provide buyers with a discount on the advance payment under a leasing agreement, having subsequently received compensation from the federal budget. Of particular note are the following companies involved in the project:

LLC "Leasing"
LLC "Praktika LC";
LLC "First Leasing Company";
JSC Sberbank Leasing;
JSC Gazprombank Leasing.

Although the cabin of the new KAMAZ 54901 tractor is designed in the style of modern MANs (just look at the radiator grille), it is based on the “head” of the 4th generation Mercedes Actros. The transmission of the new product is also ZF, but the engine, although it is based on a Daimler development, is its own - KAMAZ P6, which develops from 380 to 550 horsepower, but can be boosted to 750 “horses”. The engine life is about one and a half million kilometers. Model 54901 was presented at the COMTRANS 2017 exhibition in September last year, its serial production should begin next year.

Pickups GAZ-61-416

This Russian high-tech tractor has a mysterious history. Information regarding the development of the machine is not known for certain and contains many inaccuracies. Moreover, until recently the name of the technique remained unknown. We managed to install it using archived data. The predecessor of the car was the GAZ-61 vehicle, on the basis of which experimental developments were carried out. The technical characteristics of the tractor made it possible to overcome snowdrifts, ice and washed-out roads at different times of the year.

What documents are needed

Important! For a potential participant in the government subsidy program, it is important to have a good credit history, as well as the ability to confirm the presence of a stable and sufficient source of income.

The main documents of a participant in the state preferential leasing program “Russian Tractor” are:

Russian passport (only Russian citizens can take advantage of the benefits);
driver's license of the appropriate category;
a certificate in form 2-NDFL about income for the past several months or years (will depend on the lessor bank).

KAMAZ 5490 became the company's first truck with a fundamentally new cab - the license for its drawings, manufacturing and equipment was purchased from the Daimler concern. Apart from the new bumpers and headlights, this is practically a copy of the Mercedes Axor cabin. In addition to it, the 5490 also uses other foreign components: a Daimler engine (in-line, six-cylinder), as well as transmissions from ZF. In addition to the Daimler engine, the 5490 can also be equipped with a KAMAZ G8 with a power of 440 horsepower.

Expert opinion on the question of why the Russian Tractor Program was introduced

Currently, due to currency fluctuations, the majority of fleet owners of domestic companies have stopped purchasing vehicles. Foreign companies are currently characterized by more progressive sales growth dynamics. For example, you can take KAMAZ, GAZ, Volvo and Mercedes. KAMAZ increased its sales by 27%, GAZ showed negative dynamics, and the mentioned foreign companies increased their sales by 202% and 557%, respectively. Due to the fact that the fleet of Russian-made equipment needs to be updated, the Government of the Russian Federation began to take measures by introducing preferential leasing and car lending programs.

Heavy-duty and cross-country trucks

Now it’s worth taking a look at the best modern and high-power trucks assembled in Russia, which are characterized by increased performance parameters. These are no longer just mainline tractors, but something more.

Having gotten to know each of the candidates better, it will become clear why it was decided to present them as part of a separate top 5.

In many ways, these are truly the best trucks of their kind. Moreover, even many non-Russian competitors are not able to offer similar equipment.

Within this top 5 there will be many more manufacturers. These will be exclusively Russian-made trucks, but not only KAMAZ.

KAMAZ NEW 65225. In general, it is positioned as a truck tractor intended for interregional and international routes. But this is an all-wheel drive three-axle vehicle with a 6x6 layout. Due to the wheel formula, it moves easily off-road. The new all-metal cab has a 4-point air suspension. The design of the car was improved, the aerodynamics were improved, and a sleeping place with an increased level of comfort was installed. When transporting cargo, it can pull a semi-trailer weighing up to 26.7 tons. And if this is a road with a permitted axle load of 100 kN, then all 75.3 tons. As part of the modernization, the truck was equipped with an 11.7-liter Cummins engine. Turbocharging and a direct injection system made it possible to squeeze out 400 horsepower. It is paired with a 16-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
Tonar 7502. A unique car in many ways. If you take all the existing Russian trucks, you will not find an analogue to this car. A special technique that is only gaining popularity in 2022. The new product was presented in December 2022. Positioned as a multi-link machine with increased load capacity. In fact, this is an all-wheel drive tractor and a pair of dump semi-trailers in one design. The car is prohibited from driving on public roads. The truck is designed for the most difficult operating conditions. In general, this giant road train was specially created to carry out work in the area of a diamond deposit in Yakutia. The power plant is a 19-liter Cummins QSK internal combustion engine. It is turbocharged and produces 760 horsepower. Moreover, it works in tandem with a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Ural 44202. This is a whole family that includes truck tractors. Characterized by increased cross-country ability. Designed to work in difficult conditions, including off-road cargo transportation. Interestingly, the first Ural of this family debuted back in 1977. The current model with the additional index 351180 has been launched since 2013. The latest version received a cabover cab from IVECO. It looks more than decent. The off-road truck is equipped with diesel turbo engines with 6 and 8 cylinders. The volume varies from 10.8 to 14.8 liters, and the power can be 210-285 horsepower. A choice of 5 or 9-speed gearboxes, plus 2-range transfer case.
Tonar 45252. In fact, this is a mining tractor. One of the largest in the manufacturer's line. A machine was created to work in harsh climates. Characterized by increased load capacity and ease of maintenance. With such a truck you can transport cargo weighing up to 130 tons. The cabin is entirely aluminum, with air suspension. There is double glazing and an increased efficiency heating system. A 6-cylinder turbodiesel was chosen as the internal combustion engine, which produces 600 horsepower. Paired with it is a hydromechanical automatic transmission with 9 gears, 2 of which are rear.
Ural NEXT 6x6. A truck tractor, but far from the simplest. The vehicle is characterized by increased cross-country ability and has a 6x6 wheel arrangement. Designed for towing trailers, working as part of a road train, on any roads. Easily remains operational at temperatures down to -45 degrees Celsius. Serial production started in December 2015. Then the model was slightly updated after 3 years. The cabin here is 3-seater. But there is no sleeping place. The permissible maximum weight of a road train reaches 38 tons. The internal combustion engine is a domestic YaMZ engine with a capacity of 6.65 liters and a power of 312 horsepower. It is complemented by a 9-speed ZF gearbox and a 2-speed transfer case.

It is clear that these are not all Russian trucks. Also on the territory of the Russian Federation, excellent vehicles of various purposes and types are assembled, including dump trucks, trucks with awnings, open platforms, etc.

The number of enterprises producing trucks in Russia remains stable. There are recognized leaders. It is the cars they produce that are recognized as the best. But it is also worth paying tribute to enterprises that are trying to impose competition. We can only wish them good luck.

Common mistakes

Error: A participant in the Russian Tractor program wants to receive a 12.5% discount on the down payment under a leasing agreement for a vehicle cost of 8 million rubles.

Comment: The maximum discount is 650,000 rubles, so a discount in the amount of 1 million cannot be provided (8 million x 0.125).

Error: The owner of a medium-sized business is going to purchase 2 vehicles under the Russian Tractor preferential leasing program.

Comment: You can take advantage of the “Russian Tractor” program only once, that is, it is impossible to get a discount of more than 12.5% when making an advance payment.

ICT

Soviet traction machines were regularly replenished, updated with modernized machines and technologically new developments. An engineering wheeled tractor (IWT) is a two-axle vehicle with all wheels being driven. The machine is distinguished by its power resource, which helps to operate ICT as a basis for various types of attachments.

The power transmission is represented by a hydromechanical gearbox, a hydromechanical gearbox, an additional gearbox, a front axle mechanism and other technical capabilities. The power unit is a 12-cylinder high-speed engine running on diesel fuel. The V-shaped four-stroke engine featured fuel injection. The power unit is installed on the frame of the machine, being fixed at three points.

The total weight is 18 tons, while the upper speed limit reaches 45 km/h. The cabin comfortably seats 2 people, including the driver.

It is noteworthy that the vehicle is capable of fording a ford up to 1.2 meters deep. Two fuel tanks with a capacity of 420 liters each ensure long-distance travel of the tractor, solving various problems.

Engine	12-cylinder, V-shaped 4-stroke
Full mass	18 tons
Ford (depth)	1.2 meters
Fuel tanks	2x420 liters
Maximum speed	45 km/h

Answers to common questions about how the Russian Tractor Program works

Question No. 1: Is it possible to get a discount when making an advance payment for the purchase of a tractor under the Russian Tractor program under two programs at once?

Answer: No, you will not be able to get a discount twice. The maximum that a participant in the state program can expect is a reduction in the down payment by 12.5% from budget funds.

Question No. 2: Is it possible to purchase a tractor under the Russian Tractor program if it is a domestically assembled foreign car?

Answer: Yes, this is allowed. But you should consider the list of vehicles available for purchase.

MT-T "Aeneas"

This is a tracked transporter, distinguished by its significant mass and multi-purpose purpose. The tractor was originally planned for transporting all kinds of cargo and towing trailers. The car has great traction potential, which is confirmed in off-road conditions. Due to its excellent traction characteristics, the equipment is used to tow artillery systems. It is curious that the design includes elements of the T-64 tank chassis. The body is suitable for transporting cargo of different sizes, while the vehicle is capable of driving on any road, towing in difficult weather conditions.

The conveyor motor, characterized by increased reliability and excellent fuel efficiency, deserves special attention. Despite the significant weight, fully equipped fuel resources are sufficient to cover significant distances. The main fuel is diesel, but design engineers have laid down an alternative potential that provides the ability to tow and transport various cargo using aviation fuel - kerosene. It is worth noting that such capabilities did not affect the driving characteristics of the car.

The compact cabover truck ZIL-4329 of the Centaur family was produced at the end of the life of the famous plant, entering the production line only in 2009. It was then decided not to spend money on developing a new cabin - ready-made kits were purchased from the Chinese company Shaanxi (and its cabins, in turn, are updated copies of those used on the MAN L2000). The chassis (as well as the engines produced by the Minsk Motor Plant) were borrowed from the early hooded ZIL 4329, making minimal changes to the design.
