Burnaby, Canada, October 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Russia is one of the largest emerging economies in Europe and is the second largest automotive market in the region, behind Germany. The increasing urbanization, rising disposable income and low density of vehicles are contributing significantly to the country’s automotive market.
