The sad situation in the Russian car market has led to an unexpected increase in the popularity of electric vehicles. Moreover, this affected not only consumer demand, but also the active desire of domestic developers to join the eco-friendly mobility movement. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the current state of development of the Russian electric vehicle Atom.
Already in the spring, Kama JSC plans to show the first prototype of the domestic brand Atom. Oddly enough, his media promotion looks quite professional. Perhaps the approach to making a car is on the same level. It is also interesting that this prototype is primarily planned to be actively used to work out the interfaces of interaction between a person and a car. And only subsequent fully functional samples are fully tested. Although, we note, not every manufacturer can master the road from a prototype to a series sample.
After all, the question of the availability of production facilities, not to mention a high-quality after-sales service, can threaten the disappearance of even the most advanced development. So now “Kama” is actively looking for the next investments in the amount of 150 million dollars. Part of this money is expected to be spent on acquiring an idle Ford production site in Naberezhnye Chelny to host full cycle production.
Although without the involvement of imported component suppliers, it most likely will not work. The AvtoVzglyad portal reminds that it is planned to create four models of electric vehicles based on the Atom modular platform, from the two-door Duo to a commercial vehicle for cargo delivery services.
