The bus dealer network is more stable than the service one
The marketing agency NAPI has updated its report on bus dealerships and service centers in Q III 2026. Year-over-year, the bus dealer network demonstrates greater stability than the service one.
Compared to Q III last year, the number of authorized sales points increased by 5 units and reached 233 units (+2.2%). New points opened in the Central (+5 units), Volga (+4 units), Urals (+3 units), and Siberian (+1 unit) federal districts. The number of sales points declined in the Far Eastern (-4 units), Southern (-2 units), Northwestern, and North Caucasian (-1 unit each) federal districts.
Instability in the service center segment is more noticeable. Over the year, the number of service centers decreased by 52 units to 551 units (-8.6%). The fluctuation in the number of service centers is partly due to reorganization of service network by Modern Transport Technologies.
As a result, the following picture emerged: Central Federal District (-20 units), Volga Federal District (-12 units), Northwestern Federal District (-1 unit), Siberian Federal District (-6 units), Southern Federal District (-6 units), and Urals Federal District (-7 units). The Far Eastern and North Caucasian Federal Districts maintained their capacity.
