The Atom electric vehicle project, which started in 2021 in Naberezhnye Chelny, has entered the serial production phase. Since summer 2026, the company has been delivering cars to customers who pre-ordered the vehicle. The development team consists of more than 1,500 specialists who created a universal technological platform for the electric car.
The vehicle's digital architecture is based on three proprietary developments: the Atom operating system, AR-Engine Atom, and the Atom API platform. The current serial software includes over 500 user functions, including six ADAS features, AR projector navigation, and a mobile app for passengers. The car supports over-the-air (OTA) updates via Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
An update scheduled for the end of 2026 will introduce an expanded ADAS package, including automatic parking, adaptive cruise control, and keyless access. New voice assistant capabilities, video streaming services, and additional AR content will also be added. In 2027, the company plans to add more than 100 new functions, including seven more ADAS systems, Plug&Charge technology for charging payment, and smart home integration.
The Atom is equipped with a 150 kW (204 hp) electric motor and a battery capacity that allows for a range of up to 500 km according to the WLTC cycle. The car features a comprehensive heating package for seats, steering wheel, and glass, as well as dual-zone climate control. For distribution, the company has signed agreements with 26 service partners in 8 Russian cities and plans to expand the network to 16 cities by 2027 and 48 cities by 2029.
