Russia Economy Thread

[pmc]

This another Rosatom EV project that was shown recently. some advanced composite materials are used that reduced weight of 42kwh battery vehicle to 1000kg with 337km range on Russian cycle. Auto designed for Russian market has high ground clearance and SUV like profile and tested to extreme weather and rough surface with special tires. so the range achieved in Russia is not same.
84kwh battery 670km range. this will be breakthrough if the they can bring weight of EV to ICE vehicles with same price. pointed weight of EVs are destroying infrastructure (60% greater weight) and i think one of New York city multi story parking collapsed.
This small site final assembly. this is that automation that few thousand vehicles can still make the plant competitive and distribute manufacturing. Its more efficient to transport batteries than whole vehicle on truck carrier.

Project Description​

Design projects for an electric last-mile delivery van and an urban crossover based on a universal composite electric vehicle platform developed by the Composite Division of Rosatom State Corporation.

Technological innovation​

The project is based on a unique universal composite electric vehicle platform developed by the Composite Division of Rosatom State Corporation. The main load-bearing element of the platform is a composite backbone profile produced using pultrusion technology, which also serves as the traction battery housing. The length of the backbone profile regulates the wheelbase of the vehicle. The chassis consists of front and rear modules consisting of identical elements: a unified subframe (front/rear); a unified steering knuckle (for each of the 4 wheels); a unified suspension arm (for each of the 4 wheels); The body is a polymer structural sandwich, providing strength at low weight, as well as heat and noise insulation. It does not require painting, as it is painted in bulk. It is produced in a single technological cycle using rotational molding. Thanks to unification, it is possible to implement a front-engine, rear-engine, or dual-engine configuration. A serial hybrid configuration is also possible. Original design solutions are designed to significantly reduce development and production costs, eliminating the need for welding, stamping, or painting, and significantly reducing the number of components due to standardization. The use of composites, polymers, and a backbone load-bearing system, as well as a reduced number of components, significantly reduces the overall weight of the structure, resulting in competitive performance with a smaller battery. Reducing the battery size significantly reduces the vehicle's price, as the battery accounts for up to 60% of the cost. The technology does not require extensive production infrastructure, allowing it to be manufactured at small sites. The target localization level is over 90%. Up to 60% of the components are sourced from Rosatom State Corporation enterprises, including the battery, composites, control electronics, and others.

Focus on the global market​

The project's technology and products have enormous potential for expansion into foreign markets, as they possess unique competitive advantages, such as a price comparable to internal combustion engine-powered vehicles with all the advantages of an electric vehicle, a wide range of products thanks to a comprehensive model lineup, and a unique, futuristic design.

The world's most powerful car batteries have been developed in Moscow.​

In addition, they are tens of times more durable than conventional batteries: for example, lead-acid batteries have a service life of about 300-500 cycles, while titanate batteries have a service life of up to 20,000 cycles , or about 25-30 years of operation.

NAMI unveiled a 299-horsepower engine to replace imported engines. What is known about the new model?​

Design features​

One of the key components is the closed-type cylinder block cooling jacket. This solution ensures:

• maximum block rigidity;
• improved sealing of the gas joint;
• more stable operation under high loads.

This is especially important for high-power-to-weight ratio engines that operate in turbocharged modes.

Where will it be applied?​

The motor is designed for:

• premium and mass-market passenger cars;
• light commercial vehicles;
• serial hybrid power plants (as a generator).

This means that the NAMI-414320 could become the basis for future Aurus models, as well as for other Russian brands looking for a replacement for imported engines.

This Lada and heavy vehicles are famous for CNG powered vehicles. in addition naturally aspirated engines can deal with any kind of fuel unlike high compression turbos.

Both of these video from Industrial exhibition with Indonesia as guest country. just by looking at Russia can manufacture Autos at low cost with own science. The most complex science is in tire and glass technology. Glass has to meet insulation and safety of heavier vehicles. developing ICE engines and transmission not big deal. 10 years development reduced to 2 years. one of the video finish with UAE culture.

Russia science will accelerate.

A trading house between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan was opened in the Tyumen region.​

The Tyumen Region has become an official participant in the Airitom Free Economic Zone, located at the junction of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. The regional office has opened a trading house there. This was announced by Vladimir Dolgushin, Vice President of the Tyumen Region's Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

According to Dolgushin, this event opens up numerous opportunities for Russian companies: the ability to export goods from any region of Russia to Afghanistan, the creation of transparent financial relations with Afghan partners, and effective multimodal logistics, including road, rail, and river transport along the Amu Darya River.

Delegations from Uzbekistan continue to become familiar with the industrial and economic potential of the Gomel region.​

Sergei Yarets, Chairman of the Zhlobin district, explained that the high-tech complex was built in response to the President of Belarus's instructions to extensively upgrade dairy herds to modern conditions and is designed to accommodate 750–760 head of dairy cattle. The site includes two cowsheds, a milking and dairy unit, a shed for keeping calves, feed storage facilities, and a utility block.

The guests were particularly interested in the technological principle implemented here—a closed-loop production cycle with the maximum elimination of human error. All processes (animal care and monitoring) are managed by specialized software.

The delegation visited the agrotown of Bobovka, where large-scale construction of another next-generation dairy farm is underway.

In Zhlobin, the guests also visited a garment factory and a local meat processing plant.
