RusAutoNews.- Avtotor intends to create production facilities for the production of 5000 electric cars annually, as stated by Valery Gorbunov, the chairman of the board of directors, to the Russian news agency TASS.
As he noted, the company can start the pilot production in 2023 with 200 electric cars, with different models. The serial production is planned for 2024. The production volumes are to be determined later by the market situation and predictions.
The manufacturer is considering the possibility of cooperation with Kia, Hyundai and BMW, starting with two models on a single platform, which makes it possible to unify the components. The cruising range of the models are about 180 km, which can be increased to 400 km after some modernisation and R&D work. The planned price of the car will be up to 1.5 million rubles (approximately $20 thousand) as estimated by the company.
