The Russian electric vehicle brand Atom has launched mass production at the Moskvich automobile plant in Moscow. The manufacturing process utilizes a full technological cycle, including welding, painting, anti-corrosion treatment, and final quality control. The project is supported by the Moscow government, which helped modernize the assembly site.
The vehicle is built on a proprietary modular platform featuring a 150 kW electric motor, providing acceleration to 100 km/h in 7 seconds and a range of up to 500 km per charge. Key technical specifications include a five-link rear suspension, a specialized thermal management system for the battery, and a comprehensive winter heating package.
Atom operates on its own software, featuring an interface with a head-up display, a steering wheel-mounted touchscreen, and an ADAS 2+ driver assistance system. The vehicle body is constructed from high-strength hot-stamped steel and features automatic doors without a center pillar.
The company currently employs over 1,000 specialists across research centers in Moscow and Tatarstan. Atom has established partnerships with 26 service providers in 8 Russian cities, with plans to expand this network to 16 cities by 2027 and 48 cities by 2029.
The project is backed by Rosatom, Kamaz, the Moscow government, PSB Bank, VEB.RF, the Industrial Development Fund, and the Russian Direct Investment Fund. Rosatom is responsible for the production of the battery and electric drive components.
