Electric car Zetta can be on the conveyor before the end of the year

The first Russian electric car, Zetta, is planned to be launched into the serial production, despite the difficulties the project faced last year. As the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov said, today the Zetta is undergoing final tests, and the serial production of the model should begin before the end of the year.

According to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the line of Russian-made electric cars will include three models, among which the Zetta will be the most compact. It is still unknown when the Kama-1 will appear, and the hydrogen version of the luxury car Aurus Senat is expected in 2024 in the status of a production model. The serial production of the compact three-door City Modul 1 electric car is planned to be launched at the Zetta plant in Togliatti. The maximum planned production volume is 15 thousand electric vehicles per year.

There are three configurations for City Modul 1: front-wheel drive with a power reserve of 180 km (from 550 thousand rubles), front-wheel drive with an increased battery capacity and a cruising range of about 500 km (from 750 thousand rubles) and all-wheel drive with a power reserve of about 500 km (from 950 thousand rubles). The maximum speed is 120 km / h.

As previously reported, in case of a successful launch and implementation of the first Russian serial electric car Zetta, the company can develop an electric coupe, which so far exists only in digital form. In addition, the company is ready to produce a modification for people with disabilities. A cargo version with an extended body and a high cargo compartment is also planned.
