Automotive parts and spare components for Russia’s inaugural electric vehicle, the Atom, are slated to arrive from a diverse network that spans China, India, Turkey, and several Southeast Asian nations. This information comes from the press service of the Fesco transport group. The plan includes drawing supplies to Vladivostok, with additional shipments routed through St. Petersburg and Novorossiysk ports, and even moving goods from China via rail to accelerate the supply chain.
To streamline this process, Fesco intends to deploy its own regular container services and leverage the full capacity of its asset base. The ultimate destination for all auto components will be the Atom production facility located in Moscow, where assembly lines are set to transform the gathered parts into finished electric vehicles.
Earlier reports indicated that the Moskvich factory in the capital would host the initial electric vehicle production. The first Atom models are anticipated to appear in showrooms during the second half of 2025. Design-wise, the Atom is expected to be comparable in size to the Lada Granta hatchback, with an overall length around 3995 millimeters and a width near 1780 millimeters. Ground clearance is projected at approximately 170 millimeters, and the vehicle will accommodate wheels ranging from 17 to 19 inches. The suspension setup is planned to feature a fully independent MacPherson strut arrangement at the front and a multi-link independent system at the rear, delivering a balanced ride and responsive handling for urban and suburban driving conditions.
In related developments, the Moscow Ministry of Transport has previously indicated that paid parking measures are contributing to safer city streets, reinforcing a broader push toward organized urban mobility and clearer traffic management across the capital.
