Uzbekistan may produce the "Atom" electric car

The Russian automobile manufacturer Kama is considering Uzbekistan as a potential site for the production of its new Atom electric car. According to the TASS news agency, negotiations have begun with the Uzbek side on this issue.

Uzbekistan is interested in the Atom production project

According to Anatoly Kiyashko, Director for Relations with Government Bodies and Corporate Partners, the possibility of producing the Atom electric car and introducing advanced technologies developed by Kama in Uzbekistan was discussed during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

The company expressed its readiness to share technologies developed by Russian engineers with Uzbekistan. In addition, Kama is also discussing issues of localization of production with China and other countries.

Technical characteristics of the Atom electric car

Recognized as one of the first modern electric cars in Russia, Atom was first presented to the public in the spring of 2023. Its mass production is planned for the second half of 2025.

Atom is equipped with a 77 kWh battery and can cover a distance of 500 km on a full charge. The electric car accelerates to 100 km/h in 8 seconds. According to preliminary estimates, its starting price will be 2.9 million rubles (approximately 32.1 thousand US dollars at the current exchange rate).

Prospects for future cooperation

Uzbekistan has been paying attention to the development of the electric car industry in recent years. Currently, local automakers are considering various projects for the production and import of electric cars. If the negotiations with Kama yield positive results, this could be an important step in the further development of the electric vehicle industry in Uzbekistan.

The results of the negotiations and official decisions on the production of the Atom electric vehicle in Uzbekistan are expected to be announced in the coming months. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
