Kangaroo Electro presents itself as Russia’s first dedicated electric commercial vehicle assembly plant, a real facility located in the Kaluga region. There, compact, single-seat trucks with a frame-panel build, an electric motor, a lithium iron phosphate battery, and a cargo space of about 3 cubic meters are assembled on site.
Technically classified as quadricycles, these vehicles can be driven on public roads with a standard category B license.
The drivetrain delivers around 5 kW (6.8 hp). The vehicle weighs about 587 kg in production specifications, with a legally permissible gross vehicle weight of 1025 kg. The stated payload is 600 kg, and the top speed registers at 52 km/h.
Charging is practical: a full recharge takes roughly 6 hours from any 220V outlet. The LiFePo4 battery is frost resistant, supporting year-round use in colder climates. Official testing indicates around 200 kilometers per charge, while the battery is designed for a life of up to 15 years.
The project’s official materials note a two-year warranty with no mileage limit. Service is promised on a steady basis, with an assurance that parts remain available. A trial rental option is offered, and among the claimed advantages are the absence of typical combustion engine and transmission issues, the potential to move freely in traffic, and the benefit of easier parking.
Pricing starts from about 1,250,000 rubles for the truck. The vehicle is positioned for roles in express delivery, freight carsharing, rental fleets, and as a mobile storefront. In addition to van and refrigeration configurations, a passenger variant is also listed.
- Another Russian electric initiative, KAMA, is also pursuing carsharing and taxi services.
