Under Russian traffic rules, drivers must drive on the right side of the road but traffic officials generally tolerate cars with Japanese style Right Hand Drive (RHD) cars designed to run on the left hand side of the road.
Right Hand Drive Car from Japan
Used cars from Japan are as popular as Left Hand Drive (LHD) cars by Russian automobile makers such as Volga. As per the latest estimates, Russia has more than 1.5 million RHD vehicles on its roads. In the far eastern regions of Russia, such as Vladivostok, RHD cars make up to 90% of the total. Many drivers in this region own cars with right-hand drive imported from Japan. This includes not only private cars, but also government vehicles, ambulances and police cars. (more…)

I’m back from my business trip to Russia.Well, overall the trip was fruitful, but I had some problems. First one was due to the fact I that I was not able to speak or understand Russian, which leads to a communication barrier. Russians don’t understand English much, and my only mode of communication was through one of my Russian friends.
An unpleasant experience I faced was I was taken by the police in their car while I was waiting for a taxi. I was questioned with full body and baggage check and released. But when I returned to my hotel room I discovered that the police had stolen my cash in the bag while they searched my baggage. (more…)

Today Mr. Shiotsu, President of Shiotsu Auto Trade visited me in our new office. He was on his way home to Osaka from his business trip to Malaysia. We then discussed how we could ship Japanese used trucks into parts to countries which do not allow import of used vehicles. You can have a look at some ways how we shipped trucks by cutting them into manageable parts. Soon, we are planning to ship some trucks to Russia in this manner.
