The state-owned enterprise Rosatom and the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans signed the first contract in Russia for the supply of traction batteries for electric vehicles. The agreement provides for obligations to establish production.
According to Rosatom’s press service, battery production will take place in the village of Krasnaya Pakhra, in the Troitsk administrative district of the capital. The total capacity of all batteries produced in the company must be 4 GWh per year. The Gigafactory will begin battery production in 2025-2026 and will reach its design capacity of 50,000 cells per year.

Under the contract, Rosatom will supply traction batteries for more than 5,000 electric buses in Moscow.
In addition, it is planned to equip 150,000 Moskvich electric vehicles with batteries from the future capital factory.
