The expected news of AvtoVAZ 2018 is burly discussed. Interest in them was warm and president of Nicolas Mor, who on the eve of the new year 2017, in his interview in Ust-Kamenogorsk, told the public about prospects model Row Lada.
All AVTOVAZ enterprises have priority tasks:
- translate the entire line of cars produced to a new x-design;
- release eight new lada models over the next 10 years;
- to form a positive attitude of the population to domestic cars through a noticeable increase in their quality.
Previously, the Russian car industry did not indulge us with novelties. They were rare, and even more often in the form of modernization. Now the number of domestic models has decreased, but they are actively developing. Automakers recently announce the novelties with enviable constancy. It is interesting to look at the new AvtoVAZ models 2017/2018 (photo models are located under their description).
This all-terrain vehicle will be the first model, which is planned for launch at the end of 2017 and inclusion in a full-fledged production flow in 2018. It is created on the basis of ordinary Vesta. According to the President of AvtoVAZ N. Mora, it will cost about 800 thousand rubles, but apparently, will please his future owners not only increased clearance, but also a rich, well-thought-out basic package.
At first, this elongated sedan was presented as a VIP-car. It was made in one instance, as an experiment. Then the next, a little upgraded version appeared, and since the beginning of 2018, sales of this modification may begin by pre-orders.
At the 2016 Motor Show in Moscow, AvtoVazov residents presented this oscoretuman sedan, designed on the basis of the station wagon. However, there is still no information about the time of launching the car on the conveyor. It is possible that such a car will not appear at all, although there should be no special problems with the start of production.
But this car will certainly appear. Another Russian novelty of 2017-2018 is already being actually ready. It is equipped with a 1.8-liter 150-power engine, has an original steering wheel. Rear installed disc brakes Instead of drum, ahead is a diameter of 286 mm against 260 mm. 18-inch wheels on the Continental rubber will be supplied in basic configuration. Surprises price tag - almost a million.
The creators of this sacrifice have not yet decided whether the car will be all-wheel drive. Without this, the car will be an ordinary hatchback with a body kit and slightly increased ground clearance. The start of sales is promised at the beginning of 2018. Most likely, both options will be offered to consumers: front and four-wheel drive.
Perhaps a little earlier will appear this machine. It does not require drive 4 x 4, and all that is needed to modify the "Sport" hatchback is already running on the sedan Vesta Sport. Although AvtoVase time of release of the model did not voiced, we will wait that this promising domestic novelty will appear no later than 2018.
In the fall of 2018, it is planned to initiate the production of the second generation of the SUV. It has not yet been shown even in the form of a prototype. It is assumed that the car will be more larger than the parent; It will remain both in three and in the five-door version of the body. Under the hood will appear 1.8 liter engine on 122 horse powers. The transmission will be seriously upgraded.
LADA 4x4 II Amateur Render
Lada 4 × 4 Bit Fuel SUV Model
The trunk will be a cylinder with a capacity of 90 liters for filling with methane. This volume of gas should be enough for about 1000 km of way. Engine power will be 83 hp When working on gasoline, and slightly less - 75 liters. with. - When using gas fuel. Accordingly, it will decrease and maximum speed: 123 km / h. instead of 137 km / h.
In 2016, AvtoVAZ presented a stylish conceptual subcompact parquetormade in branded X-shaped style. There are no reliable data on the time of accessing the conveyor of this model, but there are prerequisites for the fact that it will be the end of 2018, although in car dealerships it is unlikely to appear until 2019.
One of the in demand by Russians (and not only!) Vazov models. AT updated version Modified racks and bodies will appear, the radius of the wheels (16dyums) will increase and the clearance (175 mm) will rise. The car will be equipped with an improved engine and GLONASS system.
The management of AvtoVAZ, in addition to the listed models of the Lada brand, voiced the desire to bring another new budget car to the Russian market at the price below the cheapest of their existing Avtovazovsky cars. What it will be for the car, and when the domestic motorists will see it, it is not yet known.
Ulyanovsk novelties
Despite the fact that in the light of new transformations on AvtoVAZ, the attention of most car enthusiasts is riveted to it, the domestic auto industry is not limited to this company. This year turned 75 years old by the Ulyanovsky Automobile Plant, and it does not stop there. In 2017, the new model of the UAZ 3170 SUV 3170 is derived here.
The famous "Hunter" will appear in the new attitudes - UAZ Hunter SUV. It will be enjoyed in advanced security and greater than before, comfort in management. Changes are expected in design dashboardMore smooth will be the gearbox.
Will not be left without updating and UAZ Cargo. Last capacity will increase from 800 kg to 1500 kg, that is, almost twice. This will definitely please those who use a PICAP for commercial purposes.
On this new items of the Russian automation 2017/2018 are not exhausted. Recently, gas announced the work on the new generation of route minibuses "Gazelle - Next", and its division of Likinsky bus factory Prepares for the release of tourist buses to the World Cup 2018.
It is customary to scold our auto industry and dismissively responding about the possibilities of Russia in this direction. Recently, I read a lot of critical comments about the final elimination of the ZIL plant, impregnated with the offend and angry, full confidence that "we can only destroy" and that only oil and gas are fed, and more Russia Nothing can!
I personally, I also feel sorry for ZIL, but more as a symbol of nostalgia in the great time of accomplishments and development. If seriously, this is a global trend - the old flagships produced in large cities are difficult and expensive, they are uncomfortable for logistics. It is much more convenient and cheaper to build a new production complex from scratch and modern technologies Outside major cities. The dear land of megacities is simply logically to go under the offices or under housing. Today, megacities are centers of management, finance, intellectual developments, culture. In the late 19th and early 20 centuries, the factories in centers were needed, only there it was possible to find enough workshop suitable levels. Today everything is different.
As for the "swasted" Russian car industry, consisting of dying residues built in the USSR, is not the case. Below I give a selection of facts about the modern Russian automotive industry:
In the SEZ "Togliatti" of the Samara region, the release of cast aluminum parts for automotive engines was established, the production of which is leading AvtoVAZ. AT full list Factory products include Cylinder Head Cover, Oil Carter with Oil Level Sensor, Timing Drive Cover, Pipe, Reference Cooling Systems, Bracket auxiliary aggregates. In addition to AvtoVAZ, deliveries will be carried out at the Renault plant in Turkey.
Cheboksary took place the opening ceremony of the Japanese plant LLC Fujikura Automotive Rus Cheboksary "for the production of cables for cars concern Volkswagen.. The products of the plant will be supplied to the enterprise of autocontrace in Kaluga.
The volume of investments amounted to more than 260 million rubles. The project is implemented on the squares of the Cheboksary Electric Factory. Today, 125 people are already working at the enterprise, many of them have been trained in the European branches of Fujikura.
KAMAZ concentrated efforts to promote products abroad. The export of KAMAZ to the countries of far abroad has doubled. During the reporting period of 2015, 1121 units of vehicles and SCD were sold (a year ago - 589 units). There is also an increase in deliveries and some countries of neighboring countries, for example, Turkmenistan, where 854 units of autotechiki KAMAZ are exported, this is an order of magnitude higher than the same period last year.
Despite the crisis, at the reporting period, PJSC "KAMAZ" launched new modification The main tractor of KAMAZ-5490 with an automated transmission. The demand for this model is steadily growing: in August, 130 KAMAZ-5490 cars were implemented in the Russian market, in September, it was already possible to implement 246 units.
Gas Group, presented seven new models of generation NEXT within the framework of the international specialized car dealership "Commercial vehicles'2015" (COMTRANS'2015). 
"Commercial vehicles'2015" "GAZ Group" presents several new products of the NEXT generation model range: light commercial and medium-room cars, buses and heavy trucks. In general, in the framework of the exhibition, on the stand and street exposure, 23 models are shown automotive technology Production of enterprises "Gas Group".
The UAZ "Patriot" car held public trials in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and is recommended for serial production. "The machine is finalized to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, primarily in the field of use in areas with a harsh arctic climate," he added. Cars are equipped gasoline engines Volga factory with a capacity of 128 horsepower. The cutting mass is 2 tons, capacity - up to nine people, the maximum speed is 150 kilometers per hour.
GAZ Group, which is part of one of Russia's largest diversified industrial groups "Basic Element", demonstrates on the exhibition "World Buses-2015" of the novelties of the bus technology - Models "Vector-3" and a middle class bus of Liaz-4292. Both cars are designed to work on routes with low passenger traffic. Also at the exhibition presents the tourist bus "Cruise".

"Ural Next" is a new all-wheel drive off-road truck production of the Ural author. 
At the KAMAZ repair and instrumental plant, intelligent assembly systems are developed and implemented. KAMAZ units for smart assembly do not have a Russian counterpart, much cheaper imported, therefore it turned out to be interesting and other major Russian enterprises.
Unique technological equipment is a hybrid of a computer and a wrench. The unit manages the tightening of nuts with electronics: the build quality increases by eliminating the human factor and control the torque value value.
The development of such assembly systems began at the repair and instrumental factory in the year before last. The first apparatus - "Pneumatic multi-spindle wrench with electronic control at the time of the tightening" earned on automotive factory In November 2013.
On February 26, 2015, on the basis of the enterprise, LLC Dmitrovskoye UPB END in Dmitrov (Moscow region), the opening of a new building with an area of \u200b\u200b1,500 sq.m. was held, in which there was a line for the manufacture of all-metal oil filters For automotive engines of Russian and foreign production. This event was the result of an intricure-effective cooperation of enterprises of Bos and Investment Policy of the Central Board of Bas, aimed at the development and modernization of the industrial sector of the All-Russian Society of Blind, as well as the preservation of jobs for disabled victims.
Started edition Lada Granta. with AMT. "AMT is the development of Russian designers. This fact suggests that VAZ engineering is alive and will develop, while completely concentrating on customer requests. AMT is two transmissions at a price of one. One of the advantages of AMT is reduced fuel consumption. A car with a new gearbox is 10% more efficient than with "mechanics", and by 30% more economical than with a classic "automatic", - explained the AvtoVAZ President Bu Anderson.
Form Sollers in Naberezhnye Chelny began serial installation of engines russian productionmanufactured at a new factory in Elabuga cars Ford. EcoSport.
Subcompact crossover Ford. EcoSport became the second model Ford, received the Russian engine, following the new Ford Fiesta., most affordable car Ford brand in Russia. The third model of Ford Russian production, which will be equipped with an engine 1.6 liters of Duratec, will be a new Ford Focus.
Investments in the new Ford Sollers factory for the production of engines amounted to $ 275 million. Released engines have a significant level of localization, receiving basic components from Russian suppliers, and produced from local raw materials. The company completed the next layout of localization, coming out the indicator in 300 localized components.
The possibility of using gas-filled equipment was laid in Lada Vesta. Back at the design stage. The car received a fairly wide gas tank hatch. Thus, you can position near the filling neck for gasoline and a filling device for filling compressed natural gasThat is convenient and harmonious from the point of view of style.
When developing Lada Vesta Cng special attention specialists of AvtoVAZ paid security. Composite gas cylinders are equipped with built-in fuses and high-speed valves that exclude the possibility of breaking the cylinder and uncontrolled gas output during damage to case of accident. Two cylinders, designed for pressure up to 250 atmospheres, are located in the rear of the car, under the trunk floor.
A fully refilled car is able to drive a thousand kilometers without refueling. In the case when gas in the cylinders ends, the engine is automatically translated into gasoline. Forced translation is also possible with a gas / gasoline switch. It is estimated that when the car is working on methane, the cost of fuel costs is reduced by more than three times.
"The engine pairing with a volume of 1.8 liters with AMT passed without surprises, work on the preparation of the model to serial production go on schedule," they told on the automobile plant.
Earlier, AvtoVAZ began to install on crossovers of its own 106 and 123-strong units.
Recall, serial production of the first crossover Lada. Scheduled in Togliatti on December 15. Sales of the car will begin in February 2016. The first serial cars will be front-wheel drive, but over time, according to the head of the project, Oleg Grunetkova, Xray will receive a four-wheel drive.
Lada Vesta became the first serial car in Russia, which works in the Era-Glonass emergency alert system. 
The system is created to transmit a signal about accidents and other incidents in the emergency response service. If the car hit the accident, the terminal installed in the car automatically determines the location of the vehicle and the mobile channels information about the exact coordinates, time and severity of the accident, as well as the VIN-number of the car in the system-112 or Duty part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The driver can serve a signal and independently by pressing the corresponding button. The device "ERA-GLONASS" works even in case of disconnecting the main battery of the car.
In Ulyanovsk, an autocomponent was opened in Ulyanovsk. The company is located on a plot of 18.6 hectares in the Volga Industrial Park in Ulyanovsk. The plant will produce cylinder heads and blocks of engines for cars. The project involves the release of about 600 thousand parts per year using aluminum casting.
The first Russian electric motorcycle exceeded overseas counterparts. Electric motorcycles are already available in different countries. However, the Russian development of the engine efficiency can reach 95%. More than the best foreign projects. The author of the development of Vladimir Petrov, reports that the full charge of the battery is enough for 200 km of city mileage. However, he plans to develop several more models that will have above the reserve of the course. Eco-friendly motorcycle accelerates to 100 km in just four seconds. And you can recharge it in three hours from the usual outlet in 220 volts. The engine of the electric motorcycle is directly connected to rear wheelAnd the gearbox is missing.
"Uralvagonzavod" presented a serial locomotor. On the advantages of TMV-2, which is a universal vehicle on a combined wheel-rail move and is intended to move wagons on the territory of industrial enterprises and repair depots, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Rogozin told Dmitry Rogozin cEO OWZ Corporation Oleg Sienko. In particular, he noted that the TMV-2 today is serial products, which is issued as part of the implementation of the program for the import substitution of such products for Russian consumers. Multifunctional vehicle Uralvagonzavod in its own technical characteristics Not inferior overseas analogues, in the cost - cheaper imported developments.
In addition, the locomotive is one of the successful examples of diversifying the production of defense enterprise.
For Severstal-SMC-Vsevolozhsk, the first in Russia and the CIS countries in the production of a welded blank for the auto industry is launched.
New enterprise developments are a hybrid power plant tractor, a chassis for special equipment and a new engine. Tighters 65206 - the fruit of the work of the plant on hybrid installations that combines an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
And this is not all! Just an article and so it turned out too big)
P.S.: According to the World Bank, in 2000, the share of oil and gas revenues in Russia's GDP was 44.5%, and in 2012 it is already only 18.7%. Progress on face, is it not true? ;)
Humorous shows behind life - they are still joking about the Russian car industry as if they still go to the Grandfather "Four". In fact, over the past few years, interesting fermentation of ideas occur in the domestic automotive industry, and not all of them deserve sarcasm. The site analyzed, in which areas and which regions there are thoughts of Russian automakers. It turns out that ordinary motorists will have the opportunity to acquire a new cheap SUV, and more secured patriots - "seagull" of the new time ...
The most obvious
The car of increased passability is the most obvious to Russian realities. And it's not even as expensive, but above all in weather conditions - even in the capital, you do not always have time to clear from the snow from the courtyard. High clearance, four-wheel drive, good permeability and at the same time compact urban sizes and affordable price - We have such a car seem to eat. This is "Niva", as the name of the old memory is now LADA 4x4. This compact SUV.Alternative to the massive, heavy and voracious UAZ, still remains in the first twenty of the best-selling cars, like his more advanced relative Chevrolet Niva.developed by the GM-AvtoVAZ joint venture.
Only the old "Niva" is completely behind the modern requirements for security, comfort, the set of necessary options and still dozen parameters. Therefore, in 2016 it is removed from production. Meanwhile, in the Nizhny Novgorod business incubator, its replacement.
Business Incubator in Nizhny Novgorod It was created in 2007 with the state support of innovative entrepreneurship. For the new "domestic passenger car such as a small class of increased passability" already identified the stages of development and the company that will be engaged in them. Thus, the creation of the model will be engaged in the company "RusAvto-NN", specializing in the production and installation of automobiles. LLC SKB "Reserve" will take on work on the bearing body based on polymeric materials. The third mysterious stage is called Learning Effectively Tool - perhaps he implies that the work on the project will be attracted by students of automotive universities, which recently often happens when creating new automotive projects.
The most authoritative and respectful project is the revival of the car for the head of state. It is no obstacious to the Russian president to ride the German sedan. Especially when there were cortices from auto-production cars in a glorious past. To restore automotive authority russian government There are both old stocks and new developments.
Project "Torque"
Project "County" developed by the Ministry of Industry and Communist Party and Central Research Automobile and automotive institute (Us), provides for the creation of a presidential car from scratch. It is supposed to use already four Russian brand. For the first person of the state - the new armored limousine ZIL, this is a separate project called "Monolith".
For officials are assumed "Seagulls", as well as former times. It even comes to revive the Rousse-Balt brand, under which cars for the royal garage were produced at the beginning of the last century - it is planned to be used for simpler and utilitarian versions. Gongs will also include sports cars - under the Marussia brand.
As part of the project, we and Marussia Motors organized a designer competition, the results of which were summed up in July 2013. Of the 140 projects of the professor of leading car universities in Russia, three winners chose. It was necessary to design three cars for a special purpose garage: limousine, SUV and minivan, all with front-engine layout and rear or fully drive. The work could be performed in three stylized solutions: "Modern mainstream" according to Mercedes-Benz, Bentley or Rolls-Royce, the modern version of the Russian limousine - ZIL, "Chaika", Russo-Balt or promising design.
The first place was taken by solid limousine with sharp chopped forms resembling sports coupe. The second place was obtained by a massive sedan with an impressive grille of the radiator and molding on the sides. The third winner is the Limousine "Seagull" with streamlined modern lines and narrow predatory headlights. True, experts noted that all cars lack the level that could be compared with Rolls-Royce, rather Mercedes-Benz.
The next stage of work on sketches is the creation of a three-dimensional prototype model, which can undergo serious changes compared with the pattern. Not yet determined who will get a project - Gas, Zil or Marussia Motors. The main rates are made on the last one. Cars will appear no earlier than 2017.
The most interesting thing is that "cameras" may appear in free sale!
While future limousine options for the head of the Russian Federation are located on the initial raw stage, the old domestic auto plants are ready to provide their sleeps. According to the head of the Supervisory Board of Basel, Oleg Deripaska, Cars for the taper must be produced on the basis of domestic platforms. The GAZ Group already has a project that, however, needs to be finalized. The gas intends to offer its version as a temporary decision to the first persons of the government. As a basis, it is planned to use a six-bed Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard, who is familiar to the president to the vehicle. Limousines from gas will be produced under the "Seagull" brand. Project cost - 4 billion rubles.
Ready limousine for the president is also in Zil. Limousine 4112r "Brutalen and Old-fashioned, and in this his plus, his task is to look imperial, remind of our past," as describes the technical director of the department "Depot Zil". The creation of this limousine was financed by individuals.
The cheapest
Limousine for the president - the face of the National Auto industry. But the basis of it is mass cars available to the majority. In statistics of Russian sales, the first places are occupied budgetary machines. The majority of foreign manufacturers are actively working for this segment.
In the domestic car industry, it was always focused on cars available. But now less than 200,000 rubles is not even worth AvtoVAZ products. Even the "classic" left and Izhevsk Factory, "Oka" has long been rushed into oblivion. However, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe superb budget car is too good to refuse it. Please, "Bear" - from 170,000 rubles, production will begin in the near future at AMO ZIL.
The touching name "Bear" implies a low-budget car of a particularly small class A. The project of a cheap car originated in the 1997th, even some Americans planned to take part in it. However, before the reality, Mishka has reached Mishka-Tula-Moscow OJSC and JSC "Vertical" with the participation of us and with the grandmaster Anatoly Karpov as one of the founders. Calculated moves?
Prospects for an inexpensive compact car are really good, true, rather local and seasonal - the car will have to the yard in villages and small towns, it will be suitable for retirees for traveling to the country. Yes, and talking about large-scale production is not yet - after certification, permission has been obtained for the production of 150 universal and 100 pickups.
The machine is available in the universal bodies (from 195,000 rubles) and a picap van (from 170,000 rubles). The construction is based on a collection-modular scheme - a low-alloyed steel frame, which is hosted by polymer body panels, which provides a small mass and the ability to modify with different types of bodybuons and power units. However, it has a negative side - vulnerability.
Look models modestly, but it is quite appropriate - no worse than any uncomplicated Japanese compacts. In the cabin is spacious than in the "Oka" - body 120 mm wider.
Basic motor - from "ZAZ", a capacity of 1.3 liters with a capacity of 70 liters. p., corresponding to the ecological class Euro-3 and consuming the 92nd and 95th gasoline. At the same time, it is possible to adapt the power unit for the production of OJSC AvtoVAZ VAZ-11194 with a volume of 1.4 liters and with the provisions of the toxicity of Euro-4 and Euro-5, as well as RENAULT TWINGO 1.2 L power units, Peugeot 107 1.0 l, Hyundai 1.1-1.2 L, Volkswagen Lupo 1.0 - 1.2 - 1.4 liters. Drive - front, gearbox - five-speed MCP, but it is possible to install a manual mechanical drive control for people with disabilities. There is also a good list of optional equipment: power steering, driver airbag, fog, audio system. Repair the "Bear" using spare parts ZAZ, VAZ and gas.
To purchase a "bear", you need to place an order on the company's website. Possible purchase on credit.
The most youth
Youth, even if the pocket is only a scholarship or a courier salary, I don't want to ride on the "Mishka". "Eights", wherever it was possible to feel fashionable, no longer produced. And on the coupe you want to drive when you 18, and not 56 years old. But cars with a sports body (at least the body!) Are expensive. Everything may change if the Taganrog Automobile Plant comes to reality its project of a cheap coupe!
Two-door is planned to be released on the basis of a new model Aquila. Among lengthening chinese cars And removed from the production of Korean copies a new sedan looks bold - he resembles a sports field Mitsubishi. By the way, from Mitsubishi there is a power unit - a licensed 1.6-liter engine capacity of 107 liters. with. paired with MKP5. The package includes air conditioning, airbag, ABS, anti-theft system, central locking, power steering, power windows, electrically regulating and heated mirrors, sports leather seats, radio tape recorders, 18-inch alloy wheels. The cost of the sedan is 415,000 rubles for self-hyphenation from the plant, and it will be necessary to pay extra for delivery. Aquila's coupe promises to sell no more than 425,000 basic rubles. Moreover, sales are planned to begin in the near future.
If so, then it will be a unique price of offer on russian marketwhich can seduce a young audience. However, Tagaz causes concerns. The factory has a confusing situation with finance, the company even filed a lawsuit on bankruptcy. There is a sad page in the history of experiments with supposedly new models - Budget Tagaz Vega was banned from selling after the General Motors Korean division accused the Russian enterprise in theft of technologies.
The most sportive
For those who have already rose from the "eights", but still believes in the domestic auto industry, there is our Russian supercar - Marussia. It is ready to hide with cars more powerful than 400 liters. with. The Marussia B2 supercar will even appear in the online game Need for Speed, or whether it is not recognition?
The first Russian company swallowed by the premium-class sports cars was founded in 2007 by the showman and the race car driver Nikolai Fomenko and Efim Ostrovsky entrepreneur. The supercar is produced since 2008 in two versions - B1 and B2, it is also planned to exit a crossover.
Coupe B1 will be released limited circulation of 2999 pieces. Under the hood - the 2.8-liter turbo engine of the British company Cosworth, specializing in engines for auto racing, which develops 420 liters. with. and 520 nm per 4000 revolutions per minute. Acceleration up to 100 km / h occupies 3.8 seconds. Sport car has a mid-door layout and rear-wheel drive, and a six-speed "automatic" is used as a transmission. Another engine, a volume of 3.5 liters, weakens - 300 liters. with. The same characteristics and at the model B2.
However, the streets are still more chances to see Ferrari and Lamborghini. Although Marussia is cheaper - about 5 million rubles. Italian is somehow gravity. The audience "Marusi" - patriotic millionaires (and now this is a trend) and personal friends of the creators. Moreover, Fomenko has already swung on other spheres ...
Marussia participates in the Royal F1 Racing, which strengthens the authority of road models. For the first time, the team spoke in 2011 under the name Marussia Virgin Racing, and from 2012 changed the name on Marussia F1 Team.
The most environmentally friendly
Satisfied with some kind of dream of sports cars, the Russian automotive mind switched to fantasies about hybrids, because the world auto industry has long been engaged in searching for alternative energy sources. The most loud, but so far the project is far from the final implements the joint venture "E-car", 51% of which belongs to the "ONEXIM" group Mikhail Prokhorov and 49% - CJSC Yarovit Motors.
From the very beginning of the e-project, the terms have arisen - predictable for everyone, except that the manufacturer itself. When, at the start of the project in April 2010, it was boldly stated that E-mobile was already on the verge of serial production, everyone was somewhat embarrassed. And right: three years have passed, and only now the company begins to roll out the first samples on the tests, still pre-seventive. But it seems to be called the last term - 2015.
It is known that the first e-mobiles will come out in the bodies a compact urban hatchback and crossover, and the E-crossover will be the first. However, the appearance of machines, which more than once changed with the development of the project, is still not definitively defined. And pre-seventive samples were hidden under the shell of Suzuki SX4. But the scheme of the power plant is serial: electromotors on each axis, signed with differentials, and the lack of mechanical engine communication with wheels. The OI itself is a gasoline "four" volume of 1.4 liters. A fantastic rotary-blade motor, which promised in the early stages of development, did not become a reality, and the motor from the lawn mower "did not pull."
Suppliers of components "E-car" has not yet disclosed, but the site correspondent noted the Fiat logo on the engine, and on the shock absorbers - Suzuki and suggests that the suspension with the front levers McPherson and the rear semi-dependent beam - from SX4.
Hybrid cars in Russia are far from the first places in the charts. For the most part such power plants can be found in any premium cars, the same Lexus, and Toyota Prius. Models in the background. But the fuel people do not mind save, not in vain in demand gas equipment For cars. E-mobile could be an excellent cheap option, but it is already known that its price will be more ever promised 400,000 rubles.
Svetlana Aleeva
This is a rating of achievements with which the future of the world's automotive is associated. They appeared as a result of a competitive struggle between manufacturers who seek to improve absolutely everything - from the engine to the smallest suspension elements. So, that soon waiting for motorists, what innovations will the designers and other specialists who work on the improvement of the "iron horses" delight them?
Digital improvement of shock absorbers
Tenneco automotive equipment manufacturer wants to introduce adaptive damping for mass production. This is a new available system of adjustable valves. The DRIV unit uses solenoids to control the flow of fluid through three ports with different diameters. The opening and closing of the valves in different combinations creates eight different damping profiles, and the rapid switching between these curves imitates the operation of more expensive continuously adjustable valves, which are common to adaptive shock absorbers.
Tenneco also reduces the need for expensive computers and motion sensors, setting control and accelerometers on the damper itself. These devices received the name DRIV and can be installed on shock absorbers for any car.
But Tenneco positions them as a solution for pickups, where adaptive damping will help effectively reduce the load when moving around rough terrain or cargo transportation.
New speaker
Thanks to his pioneer Hypercar Mercedes-AMG, the German brand accelerates the revolution in the field of fuel technologies. This is a heat generator or MGU-H engine. The unit is characterized by compact sizes, works on the principle of an electric drive and is one of the most advanced technologies.
The compressor and turbine mounted on the 1.6-liter Motor V-6 and are separated by a relatively long shaft. It doubles as a rotor for MGU-H in the Oreo turbine. At the same time, the engine torque does not fall on the wheels, but its 107 hp Reduce the lag, rotating the turbine when the induction energy itself is not enough. This technology will forever change the dynamics of street vehicles.
The pressure and depth of the tread under control
In the world where most devices are able to work offline, car tires Do not have a cord with rubber layers. Information system e-tire Continental ETIS uses a sensor attached directly to the tire for measuring the temperature, load and the depth of the tread, as well as pressure. Like the control system motor oil, ETIA can warn the driver about the need to replace the tire. This message does not depend on the run, but from the actual state of rubber.
Adaptive headlamp technology
The headlights that provide maximum visibility to the driver and the 100 percent intensity of the distant light without blinding the oncoming drivers - the next stage in the development automotive optics. This technology is known as adaptive controlled light lines, and its last version is installed in the Audi A8 2018, which will go on sale this spring in Europe and will appear in the fall in the United States.
The Matrix LED headlights HD (AUDI calls its ADB system) use 32 LEDs located in two rows. Turning off individual lighting elements or dimming them, you can create millions of light modes. Dimensions allow AUDI to create a swivel effect without moving parts and use navigation system To predict the dimming scheme, turn off the lamps when obstacles are in front.
Just a few automakers produce such lighting systems. But the functions of associations and legislators are already working to turn adaptive headlights into effective equipment that will be used massively.
Compression instead sparking
It seems that Mazda won a decade race in the field of fuel detonation technologies. Japanese manufacturer uses compression similar to diesel engine, not on the spark. The company states that by 2019 the machine will be sold using this technology for fuel economy.
There is one reservation - SkyActiv-X (so Mazda calls this engine) still relies on the spark to control ignition from compression. A small dose of gas injected into the inlet at the beginning of the clock creates a homogeneous mixture of air / fuel throughout the cylinder. But it is too dumbered to ignite solely when compressed. When the piston approaches the upper dead point, the injector and the ignition candle connect almost immediately flammings this rich fuel pocket. Increased pressure created here, then leads to burning the depleted mixture in the entire combustion chamber.
Mazda uses this method at low and medium loads with air-fuel ratio of approximately 30.0: 1. Conventional gas units use significantly more fuel with the coefficients below - 15.0: 1. At high loads, SkyActiv-X works as an ordinary spark ignition engine. Equipped with a supercharger, a 2.0-liter Japanese engine produces power around 190 hp, and Mazda promises a 30 percent improvement in fuel efficiency in such an engine.
Student of iron oxide dust
Porsche's trader brakes are installed by conventional iron rotors with a 0.004-inch tungsten carbide layer. This is done to prevent the formation of iron oxide dust, which often covers the wheels and calipers of powerful cars. The coating also gives disks polished, brilliant finish to help justify the premium Porsche status.
According to designers of the famous brand, the super-secret PSCB system will significantly reduce braking distances The car is regardless of speed and will be operated up to 30% longer. This technology debuts at Cayenne 2019. PSCB systems will be equipped with white calipers to show their purity.
High voltage
According to expert estimates, one gas station of gasoline on average occupies 3 minutes and 33 seconds. EV drivers are connected to high-speed stations. direct current On average within 22 minutes and still take significantly more time to charge than a car with an internal combustion engine.
Porsche is leading in the segment of electric drives, having an aggregate with a capacity of 350-kW. This is more than twice as compared to the TESLA installation of 120 kW, which is available on superchargers. A simple increase in current for the support of a 350-kilowatt station on modern 400-volt equipment will require bulky cables with liquid cooling, so Porsche offers instead to simply double the voltage.
This requires large-scale processing of almost all the on-board electronics, but solves the problem of the use of thick cables. It also leads to an unexpected side effect - to eliminate about 37 kilograms of electrical wiring and electronics. Full charge will still take a minute, but 450 amp at 800 volts can produce 90 kilowatt-hours, which are enough for 360 kilometers.
The next stage of the development of batteries
Replacing the liquid or gel electrolyte lithium-ion battery with a crystal solid analogue can double the energy intensity, improve durability and eliminate malfunctions that can turn the electric vehicle into a fireball. Such solid-state batteries are the most promising successor of modern EV batteries. While most experts say that technology is far from production, Toyota argues that it will begin to introduce solid-state batteries in mass production Since the beginning of the 2020s.
Water dispersion and thermal limit
As automakers increase the efficiency of powerful engines, they are increasingly suitable for the heat limits when the fuel explodes with a catastrophic emission of energy. The waterboost system from Bosch cools the suction charge by spraying the fine fog of water into the inlet during the high-speed ride mode.
BMW uses water injection in M4 GTS to increase power with 444 horsepower to 493, and the newest Porsche. 911 GT2 RS gives 700 hp Using water injection. The technology also increases the engine efficiency and reduces harmful emissions.
Carrying
Changing the air path, and not the setting of the forms with which it interacts is the approaching boundary of the limit possibilities in active aerodynamics. Although several cars currently use this trick, Lamborghini Huracán Performante makes it the most elegant.
Air drawing in racks that support the back wing of the car, and then emissions through the ventilation holes built into the lower part of the hollow wing, reduces resistance and pressure force. When you want to increase the last, the airflow in the rack is blocked, which allows the wing to function traditionally. In addition, its internal space is divided into two parts, so it appears the opportunity to create greater clamping power on one side, helping Lambo Junior to smoothly enter into turns.
Recently, a variety of digital projects of new or updated has appeared in the global web. domestic carsperformed by independent designers and free artists.
the site tried to collect all the most interesting and promising projects of the Patriotic automotive industrywho, in turn, do not have a direct relation to the largest russian manufacturers Vehicle.
It should be noted that most of the independent renders with which you will get acquainted below are made by designers of the popular domestic edition of Kolesa.ru. In addition, in the material you will see images of models domestic productionwhich were created by other designers.
It is also worth saying that some of the presented digital projects are most likely to "live in a virtual world." At the same time, some drawn cars in reality give presented on what the large model may turn out to be russian companies.

As noted earlier, the free artist tried to show how the representative's "Volga" sedan could be in modern interpretation. It should be noted that in this paper, the British Track is viewed, since the prototype reminds of the manufacturers from the United Kingdom.
