Kama, the company behind the Russian electric car Atom, plans to supply its cars abroad. Potential export markets include Indonesia, Iran and Uzbekistan.
“If we talk about promising markets, now we look at Indonesia and other countries where electric vehicles are developing very strongly,” Anatoly Kiyashko, the company’s director of interaction with government authorities, told TASS.
Kiyashko added that negotiations with Indonesia are already underway. The head of the company named Iran, Uzbekistan and the states of South America as countries where the electric vehicle market is actively developing and which can become Kama partners.
The top manager emphasized that building factories in other countries may be “unprofitable” for the company, but Kama is ready to export its Atom OS software and install it in other electric vehicles.
According to Kiyashko, one of the main advantages of Atom OS is cybersecurity:
“The level of hacking of machines, especially devices, is a huge threat, but we, together with our partners [это] provided for. And our car is absolutely protected against external threats.”
Mass production of the Atom electric car should begin in 2025, and by 2030 the company hopes to produce 450 thousand cars per year.
In early October 2023, the manufacturer announced that it had received 36,000 Atom pre-orders in one month. The reserve price was 7 thousand rubles, but the future cost of the car is still unknown.
