Kaliningrad Avtotor intends to launch mass production of electric cars of its own design in 2025. The first samples will be shown this year. This is what Valeri Gorbunov, head of the board of directors of the automobile holding, told RIA Novosti.
The electric car is created on the basis of a technologically independent platform and involves high localization (more than 90%). The components will be produced mainly in Avtotor’s new plants.
The company’s own development includes compact two- and four-seater electric cars. The new product is planned to have equipment for people with reduced mobility.
This year, Avtotor plans to launch a plant to produce 50 thousand compact electric vehicles per year worth almost 4 billion rubles, as well as an auto component plant for 1 million products per year for 1.13 thousand million rubles, an electric motor plant with a capacity of 60 thousand units per year for 8.9 billion rubles, a power electronics plant for 2.74 billion rubles and a battery plant together with Rosatom.
