They went into effect this week. On October 29, updated rules for paying scrap duty came into force in Russia, the rates of which for imported cars increased from August 1. Russians who import cars for resale also risk paying this fee in the amount of more than 800 thousand rubles. From August 1, the recycling rate for a car with an engine capacity of 2 to 3 liters increased to 844 thousand rubles, for a vehicle with an engine capacity of 3 to 3.5 liters - to 970 thousand rubles, and for a vehicle with an engine capacity of more than 3.5 liters, 5 liters – up to 1.25 million rubles. If a car is imported into the territory of a Customs Union country by an individual, then for cars with an engine capacity of up to 3 liters and electric vehicles there is a preferential rate of only 3,400 rubles. Not everyone can receive such a benefit. If it turns out that a car purchased by a private individual abroad and registered in his name in Russia was resold by him within 12 months from the date of initial registration, this will be considered a commercial activity. Now, when buying a car, you can lose 844 thousand rubles. Details about the new rules car In this case, you will have to pay the difference in the recycling fee for individuals or legal entities: For a car with an engine capacity of up to 1 liter, the difference will be 77,800 rubles; For a car with an engine capacity of 1-2 liters - 302,600 rubles; For a car with an engine capacity of 2-3 liters - 841,400 rubles; For an electric car - 356,600 rubles. There is another trap: the same surcharge is due to the fact that within 12 months from the date of registration of the first car, he imported into the country and registered another car. According to the law, it is considered that a car is imported not for personal, but for commercial purposes. Failure to pay the fee is grounds for cancellation of the electronic PTS, that is, operation of the vehicle will become impossible.

The company is accelerating its entry into a new market With the arrival of new CEO Koji Sato, Toyota has dramatically increased its commitment to electrics as it races to catch up with competitors with a wave of new models and innovative battery technologies. One of the first new electric vehicles will be a three-row SUV that will be built at Toyota's Georgetown, Kentucky plant starting in 2025 and will target the same part of the market as the Kia EV9. Toyota says this new model will use batteries made at its own plant in Liberty, North Carolina, which already employs 2,000 people but plans to increase that number to 5,000. By 2030, Toyota says it will be able to produce a total capacity of 30 GWh of batteries in North Carolina each year, enough for 375,000 80.0 kWh batteries, but production will be split into 10 different lines to produce different batteries. sizes for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. [caption id="attachment_84537" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Toyota and Lexus[/caption] Toyota and Lexus with solid-state batteries will be able to travel up to 1000 km without recharging Toyota says it aims to produce 3.5 million electric vehicles annually by 2030, including 30 different models under the Toyota and Lexus brands. A significant number of them will be produced in the States. Toyota's battery technology will also develop rapidly. In 2027, a high-performance bipolar unit will be introduced, which will use lithium-ion chemistry and a high-nickel cathode. Such batteries will provide a range of 830 km and will be recharged from 10 to 80% within 20 minutes. In addition, Toyota confirms plans to introduce solid-state batteries in Toyota and Lexus vehicles as early as 2027. Toyota says its first-generation solid-state batteries are designed for a range of about 830 km with the ability to charge from 10 to 80% in 10 minutes, but also says a subsequent version of the battery will increase the range to 1000 km. It was previously reported that Toyota solid-state batteries will appear in tens of thousands of company vehicles by 2030.

After processing The first generation Toyota Prius debuted almost 30 years ago. As a result, many of these vehicles have either reached or are approaching the end of their useful life, making them suitable candidates for scrapping. The batteries that powered those early hybrids will find new uses in Toyota's next generation of electrified vehicles, thanks to a newly established partnership with Redwood Materials. Toyota previously agreed to supply used battery-powered vehicles to the auto recycling company. Thanks to the new agreement, the automaker will also purchase cathode active material and anode copper foil from the company. Toyota expects the battery lifecycle ecosystem it is building with Redwood to include recycling, remanufacturing and repurposing of approximately 5 million vehicles. Much of this recycled material will come from the company's own fleet of hybrid vehicles. [caption id="attachment_83730" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Toyota vehicles[/caption] First-generation Prius batteries will be used in next-generation Toyota vehicles Since so many Priuses are sold in California, many of them will end up at the Redwood recycling plant in Nevada at the end of their life. Parts made at this facility will then be shipped to Toyota's battery plant under construction in North Carolina. The automaker emphasizes that this solution will help reduce production costs and localize the supply chain. In addition to environmental benefits, the move could potentially make Toyota vehicles eligible for tax breaks in the United States. “We are thrilled to be procuring critical battery components and materials for use in our battery ecosystem,” said Sean Suggs, president of Toyota's North Carolina battery plant. “We will continue to work to source and recycle battery materials here in the United States to maximize these precious resources and reduce carbon emissions in the process.”
