Already in 2024, the Russian project Atom will present its first pre-production electric car. This was announced on Thursday, May 11, during the presentation of Atom’s employee layout by Harald Grubel, the venture’s executive director. He also noted that a pre-production version of the electric car will be presented to the public in 2024.
The presented layout of the urban hatchback has compact dimensions: length – 3995 mm, width – 1780 mm and height – 1615 mm. The future electric car will be powered by an electric motor, which will allow it to accelerate to 100 km / h in 7-9 seconds. By default, the thrust of the electric motor is transferred to the rear axle, but the company does not exclude the scaling of the project and, accordingly, the appearance of all-wheel drive versions of the Atom.
The Atom’s rear door opens in the opposite direction of travel to facilitate passenger boarding. The instrument cluster, like the multimedia, is a single device integrated into the steering wheel. The development of the electric car is led by both Russian engineers and Chinese specialists. The company hopes to sell its electric car in the Chinese market.
