About E - Mobile does not write lazy! Our blog did not stay aside (our readers ask us questions) and we also decided to highlight this topic. What is this miracle of technology? And how does it work? What is his engine? We answer .........
Let's just say, Idean inspirer and of course sponsor, is a billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, by the way the car first was called the car Prokhorov. But already on November 9, 2010, when the car was first introduced to the public, he was already called with the prefix "E". However, it is worth noting that a whole competition unfolded on the name of this car, five names went to the final - "Chariot", "Advance", "A3", "777", "27" and "- Mobile", well, how do you see the rest Applicants look very modestly!
Specifications
E - Mobile is non-standard for Russia, this is a directly saying a hybrid, not one Russian company has not released hybrids or electrocars. The principle of operation is based on the so-called super condenser. That is, simple words, gas engine Charges a super capacitor (a kind of battery), which subsequently gives its energy to electric motors. The gasoline engine is always working with one revolutions and has no large volume, about 0.6 liters, it is only needed for recharging. Due to its not large speed, the gasoline engine spends very little, about 3 l per 100 kilometers. The maximum speed can develop ё - Mobile, it is 120 kilometers per hour, not bad for a hybrid.
The car will be produced in three types, it is a cross-coupe, minivan and van.

Project" E-Mobile, "Announced by Businessman Mikhail Prokhorov, in 2010, was actually closed. The company" E-engineering "passed the FSUE to us all the documentation and the right to know-how on the development of autocuses and chassis. The symbolic amount of the transaction was one euro! What reasons This may be due: with economic, technological or ...
E-Mobile has become history
As the site has already reported, a joint venture "E-car" was created under the project of a hybrid "e-mobile" with a gas component engine and an electric transmission, in which the "ONEXIM" group belonged to 51 percent. At first, it was planned to do about 20 thousand cars per year. Moreover, preliminary purchases for the purchase was assembled almost an order of magnitude. But ...
"As I see, there is the most important reason - the economy, after all, raise the production of cars from scratch, not having experience in production at all, it is very hard," counts editor-in-Chief of the magazine "Auto-business news" Roman Glyaev, Sharing his opinion with the site. - Well, the second reason, it seems to me that: Prokhorov chose not quite loyal partners for this venture ... In fact, his partner in this matter was quite decent, and with big ambitions, but at the same time, in my opinion , not quite experienced in terms of production. She piecewise collected some trucks and nothing particularly, from the point of view of production, did not do. "
"I think, a peculiar reformatting of the" E-Mobile "project is connected, first of all with the fact that now in the economy are difficult, as it seems to me. And the fate of" Yoobil "is connected primarily with this, and not at all It is the search for the initiator of the project or other factors, "said the site of the journalist, a member of the Union of Writers of the Russian Federation and the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation, the leading program" Avtolyakbez "on" Autoradio "Yuri Gaiko. - I think that with a change in not only an economic, but also a political situation, which entailed changes in the economy, people understand that there is ahead of us ... First of all, in connection with the sanctions, in connection with the world, as it were, the condemnation of the issue of Crimea. People fully understand what is waiting for us, maybe hard times . And they understand it all, ranging from the townships and ending with businessmen or general directors of some companies related to the auto building. "
It is worth noting that in the company's initiator of the project "E-Mobile" Mikhail Prokhorov, a group of Onexim, noted that the economy was put in the head of the corner: the decision to convey to the state is due to the fact that against the background of the falling demand, the project efficiency has become non-obvious. As a result of Prokhorov, whose managers have already collected more than 200 thousand preliminary orders, decided to transfer all the technologies with a pump that began a few years ago a project to the State Research Automobile and Avtomotor Institute (US) for almost free of charge. After all, it is impossible to seriously consider one euro. Some kind of board ...
In general, all specialists who are engaged in the subject of Russian car markets believe that it is impossible to implement the project for the production of the car on the stated conditions with profits. According to Kommersant, it is not least due to the growth of expenses as a result of strengthening the euro course and increase the final price of the car.
The specialists of the company "E-car" are already commenting in Might and, why the project is as such as us - very peculiar patriotic considerations are played here not the last role. When transferring developments to this well-known domestic organization, ready-made development may well be more widely used in the further development of both domestic passenger and freight and public transport.
Together with the technologies, it was decided to sell and the production complex for "E-Mobile" in St. Petersburg, but not for one euro, and for more serious money. In principle, this production already has all the necessary infrastructure, only the production lines themselves are not yet. But still - already created worth exactly one euro, but, to put it mildly, somewhat more.
As the site has already written, quite ambitious, but still a pretty pragmatic businessman Mikhail Prokhorov tried to implement his brainchild in practice, which in the press was not otherwise called, as a "folk car", without a small four years. Back in early 2010, the media spoke about it. Despite the "adhesiveness" of the project name, it attracted some of the serious interest in serious business. In December 2010, Prokhorov had already presented three samples of a hybrid car - hatchback, van and cross-coupe. True, then the press, and together with it and the Russian possible buyer, showed cars with almost no "filling".
A little later, the reception of online orders was established, where it was called quite a democratic, truly "folk" price for "E-Mobile" - in 350-450 thousand rubles (depending on execution). Serial production at the factory in St. Petersburg was going to start at the end of 2012, but when the term came to produce a car from the conveyor, it turned out that everything is "somehow not so." And the real production of serial conveyor "E-mobile" was as if removed at the end of 2014 or at the beginning of 2015. As the main reason for the displacement of the release time new car It was supposedly called problems with the American Contractor for the production of body.
On Monday, the final fate of the sensational automotive project of the businessman Mikhail Prokhorov "E-Mobile" became known. The fact that the idea of \u200b\u200ba people's car conceived by him actually failed, "Gazeta.Ru" with reference to its sources in the company reported back in February. It remained unclear what fate is waiting for material and intellectual assets created within the project at its initial stage.
As a result, all design documentation, as well as exclusive rights to unique body development and chassis "E-Mobile" Group Onexim, who owned 85% of the shares of the subsidiary "E-car", sold FSUE "Central Research Automotive and Avtomotory Institute (US ) ".
The ambitious project of an affordable Russian hybrid car was sold for a symbolic amount of € 1. An unfinished plant near St. Petersburg, which had to produce "e-mobile", will also be sold.
In Onexim, the sale of the sensational asset was explained by the fact that they finally understood that the release of "E-Mobile" will not be profitable. The real selling price of the machine taking into account the market conditions, according to the calculations, would be approximately 1 million rubles, although it was originally planned that the cost of the car would not exceed 400 thousand rubles.
Meanwhile, earlier in "E-car" noted that unique developments, namely, supercapacitors and electric transmissions, can sell one of the foreign companies.
Specific proposals for the acquisition of technologies, according to project managers, were received from foreign firms, but in Onexim, they were fundamentally decided to leave all the developments in Russia.
We have chosen not by chance: another subsidiary, "E-engineering", previously already had joint projects with the Institute, for example on the development of a platform for the Country Government project "and design electric engine for hybrid modification Lada Granta.. In addition, we were engaged in technical expertise "E-Mobile."
According to Gazeta.Ru, in the press service, by us, since the transfer of rights to the technology "E-Mobile" took place quite recently, at the institute there is still no clear understanding of how these developments will be applied.
Nevertheless, we are confident that none of technical solutions Will not disappear and all they will be successfully used for the benefit of the Russian automotive industry.
It is worth noting that surrounded by Mikhail Prokhorov on Monday, they hurried to disgregate from the project's scandalous fame. According to the press secretary of the businessman Tatyana Kochokokovoy, he came out of the ONEXIM group back in 2011 due to elections.
"Accordingly, all projects of the company ONEXIM directly do not have. He is not engaged in operational management and does not accept decisions. Nevertheless, the project "E-Mobile" we do not consider the failure, this is the largest venture (risk) investment conducted in Russia in recent years. As a venture project "E-Mobile" performed its function, "said Kozobokova.
The project itself started back in April 2010, when Prokhorov announced the development of a folk car. In December of the same year, he presented three samples of the future car in three body versions - van, cross-coupe, hatchback. In 201, there was a collection of preventations on future car: Their number of total exceeded 200 thousand. Machine production was to begin in 2012, but it was repeatedly postponed until 2014.
The "E-Mobile" project for Prokhorov was important from the point of view of establishing relations with the state, which is just confirmed by the gratuitous transfer of all documentation on the project of the state organization by us, the President of the Institute of the National Strategy.
"This project was tied to the political ambitions of Prokhorov, but as a political figure, no one is serious about him today, therefore there is nothing more to lose in this regard," Remizov said "Gazeta.Ru. -
At the same time, Prokhorov was never the author of business projects in the industrial sector, so there were no special expectations of the state and in business related to its activities and no. "
Crash Marussia Motors.
In addition to the "E-Mobile", we will soon be replenished with another member of the Government project "Torque" - the company of Showman and the Marussia Motors Rider.
As it became known on Monday, due to the lack of funding and stopping the payment of wages from the company massively dismissed employees.
Almost the entire structure of the company's design bureau passes in us to continue working on the "tuple".
As "Gazeta.Ru" said, one of the faded employees of the company, the problems began in the summer of 2013 - then all employees were sent to unpaid leave. Since then, in the company, known for its conceptual sports cars, there were permanent interruptions with a salary, and over the past two months the distilled engineers did not calculate.
At about the same time, in the summer of last year, according to the source, all agreements on the preparation of MARUSSIA cars at the Finnish enterprise Valmet Automotive were discontinued.
"Nobody dismissed us - they simply stopped paying the salary and refused to promise anything. No one explained to us what was happening with the company, what problems with financing - the Fomenko himself did not say a word at all.
Seven people left now in the design bureau, and it was about fifty, "the former Marussia Motors engineer told.
"It is possible that Marussia Motors will be sold along with the Formula 1 racing team. However, to continue the development of sports cars with a new team will be very hard: they will have to start almost from scratch, "the interlocutor suggested.
According to him, to complete the development of the B2 model and launch it into mass production, the company was needed for another two or three years.
For the entire existence of the project in RosCia, only four cars were sold. Abroad, as far as I know, nor the model B1, nor B2 bought so much. In total, about 20-30 experienced test specimens were produced.
As for the project "Torque", then in Marussia Motors, in recent months, work was carried out on the creation of cars, but then the sketch did not advance.
A similar fate has suffered another ambitious project budget car - "Teddy bear" who oversaw famous chess player. The start of the project, which provided for the production of cars worth 200 thousand rubles, became known in 2003. Cars "Mishka" allegedly even received certification. However, since 2011, no statements about the fate of the Mishk was not. At the moment, the project is actually not closed, but not about any development or preparation for launching into production, said "Gazeta.Ru" a source familiar with the progress of the project.
Most of the employees of the design bureau of the company are going to continue working on the "tuple" already in us. However, comment on the employment of engineers and designers who left Marussia Motors, they refused to comment on Monday.
For several decades, many car manufacturers sought to create a truly massive city car, which will be available to almost every potential customer. In the history of the automotive industry there were many successful options for the implementation of this idea, take for example legendary Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Opel Astra, Mitsubishi Lancer, Patriotic "Six" or many other models, but they all lacked. Some cars were not sufficiently reliable, other low-power, and others were so compact and not comfortable that riding them turned into a daytime nightmare. Given all the problems of previous cars, russian manufacturers decided to release their model of the city car, which will be cheap, economical and will not be harm to ambient. Main characteristic features The new car should be its low cost, unpretentiousness and low cost in operation, low level Fuel and emission consumption harmful substances, as well as the use of composite materials, which will lead to the possibility of complete disposal of the body. The novelty got the name " E-Mobile"And, according to manufacturers, it will be available to wide segments of the population, and its approximate fuel consumption will be 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers of run. Now let's get acquainted with "ё mobile" a little closer.
The development of a domestic city car with a hybrid engine began at the enterprise " Yarovit Motors.", And then, as a subject joint activityThe further development of the project was invited to finance the Russian millionth Mikhail Prokhorov. The company "Yarovit Motors" collaborated with Prokhorov and earlier, in 2004 heavy trucks Yarovit was sent to enterprises of the Norilsk Nickel group to pass out there experienced exploitation, and Prokhorov is one of the co-owners of Norilsk Nickel. At the moment, the project "Eu Auto" belongs to two companies, "Onexim" and "Yarovit". Information on the launch of a new project has become known in January 2010, when representatives of "EU cars" declared the intention serial production inexpensive urban cars for wide words of the population. At the moment, "Onexim" owns 51% of the project shares, and Yarovit is 49%. Before the launch of mass production of cars in the project, about 150 million euros were invested in the project, and this is only a small part of the principal amount, which is planned to invest in the development of the project. The release of finished kits for the assembly of the car will be adjusted at regional factories " Yo auto", The construction of which is already in full swing, and the assembly itself will be carried out official dealers. Full-scale production and the start of sales will be established in the second half of 2012.
The official premiere of "Ek Mobile" took place on April 12, 2010, then many did not seriously perceived a new project, but after the second presentation, which took place on October 12 of the same year, was noticeably promotion and development. On two identical platforms, you can build two completely different cars. The prototype hit his non-standardity, he went beyond the framework of modern automotive industry and assumed the use of many innovative technologies. The versatility of the novelty is so high that two completely built on the same base of different types Car, this is a family microwave and cross-coupe. The first model is great for riding in the city and joint family trips to rest, and the second can be used to drive off off-road, and more focused on young people, a leading arising lifestyle, by the way, in the designs of the developers to make the car affordable even for students. A van was also presented - this is a double car with a booth intended for the carriage of goods (a modern alternative to the long-standing "pyroches"). Externally E-Mobile"It looks very modern, and maybe a little futuristic, everything depends on what side it looks at him. The development of exterior and interior was instructed by Andrei Trofimchuk, who understood all the uniqueness of the new model and therefore developed at all new designwhich in style is something among the German and Japanese developments. The leading designer of the project sought to make a car memorable and "long-playing" so that his appearance does not need to be changed every few years, by restyling or full update appearance. The painting of the body is also non-standard it consists of two colors, one of which, the color of the ivory, will always be unchanged. This option was suggested by the Belarusian designer Vladimir Tsesler, according to his owls, the two-color body is associated with the hybridity of the car. It turns out that various colors make up a single body, as well as different kinds Fuel serve for one purpose - to carry out a car in motion. Vladimir Tsesler is also the author of the name for the new city car, he also invented the logo for new Mark.. Final doubts about the implementation of the project "EU" were dispelled after moreon recently (February 15, 2011), the construction of the first plant for the production of cars in the village of Marino (Leningrad region) began. The initial power of the plant will be from 10 to 20 thousand "Ek Mobile" a year, further production is planned to increase to 40-50 thousand units per year. In the plans of manufacturers - the construction of five assembly sites on the territory Russian Federation and component manufacturing enterprises, which will be able to annually provide details of about 100 thousand cars.
Initially, the car will be released in three types of body and equipped with a hybrid engine. Gasoline or gas is suitable as fuel, it can be a propane-butane mixture or methane. Main energy source - rotary-blade engine internal combustionworking together with an electric generator. The current accumulates in the drive (supercacitator) and nourishes two leading electric motors (one for the front axle and one for the rear), rotating wheels through differentials and thereby implementing a diagram of a constant full drive. To manage all electrical equipment, a single computer system has been developed that promotes minimizing the amount of wiring in the car. The torpedo will be located an electronic dashboard and a touch control unit.
In the end last year Detailed were announced specifications « Mobile"And the approximate cost. IN complete configuration The car will cost about 450 thousand rubles, but if you remove all the "stamps", the price can drop to 320 thousand rubles, it is possible that some changes will entail a decline in prices for another 20 thousand rubles, because the plans of manufacturers lies the mass availability of a new car .

Now in more detail about each of the models..
Mikrovan It has dimensions (length x width x height) 3892x1815x1611 millimeters with a total of 1200 kilograms and 5 planting. Cars will be equipped with 16-inch cast discs, and 15-inch stamped discs can be ordered to reduce cost. Height road Suit It is 170 mm, the drive is full or front, the maximum speed is limited by the program at 130 km / h. The overclocking time up to 100 km / h will depend on one of the three selected engine operation modes, in Sport mode - 8 seconds, in Eco mode - 11 seconds and in "Slip" mode - 14 seconds. Average flow Fuel per 100 kilometers of run - 3.5 liters.
Cross-coupe It will be somewhat longer in length (4065 millimeters) and width (1832 millimeters), but in height it will be slightly lower than Microvain (1495 millimeters). The car is designed for four people, and his full mass It is 900 kilograms. The drive can also be permanent full or front, the height of the road lumen is 200 millimeters, 17- and 16-inch alloy and stamped discs are available from the disks. The maximum speed is no different from Mikrovna, but the acceleration time of up to 100 km / h is slightly reduced, in Sport mode - 7 seconds, in Eco mode - 10 seconds, and in the "Slisko" mode is still 14 seconds. The average fuel consumption remained unchanged - 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Even more according to its size will be vanHis dimensions of 4200x1880x1870 millimeters, a total mass of 1550 kilograms, with a carrying capacity of 750 kilograms. The car has two places for the driver and passenger, as well as the cargo compartment of 4 cubic meters. The drive is all the same permanent full or front, the height of the road lumen is 170 millimeters, and wheel disks May be 16 or 15-inch. The maximum vehicle speed is 130 km / h, and overclocking, of course, is somewhat worse, in Eco mode - 14 seconds, and in the "Slip" mode - 18 seconds, the "Sport" mode is not provided. The average fuel consumption increased slightly due to the mass of the car and amounted to 4 liters per 100 kilometers of the mileage.
In general, the dynamics " Ek Mobile"It is very good considering what power they possess, but on acceleration is not only power, torque, and it is high enough high engines. Recently, the fourth body option was proposed - this five-door cross-coupe, from its three-door prototype it is distinguished only by the presence of two rear doors and enlarged by 2 centimeters road lumen.
Also not so long ago an e-mobile concept was built. His premiere took place on the 64th international auto Salon In Frankfurt (IAA 2011).
The main features "ё Mobile":
. A significant reduction in nodes and parts (about 2-2.5 times less than that of ordinary cars).
. The modular design, which includes 400 interchangeable blocks, which makes it possible to simplify the production, operation, maintenance, repair and adaptation to customer requests and subsequent innovative developments.
. The body is made of polypropylene composite materials. In November 2010, a crash test was held in one European agency, it turned out that its results it turned out that the strength of body material and low temperatures resistance are higher than that of other materials used in the manufacture of body body, due to the features of production from gas raw materials. Body meets all the requirements passive security, During the collision, the energy of the strike is dampy throughout the body. Maintainability of such a solution is significantly lower, but it is quite acceptable to the vehicle of the modular assembly.
. For energy accumulation, an electrical supercapacitator unit is used in 100 kilograms. Block is located under rear seatsFor its complete charging is enough 10 minutes.
. Software limit maximum speed At the mark of 130 km / h connected with the desire of developers to reduce mortality in an accident. In addition, they suggest officially legalize this restriction for all cars in all countries.
. Mileage of interservice service is 40 thousand kilometers.
. The approximate resource of the engine is 1 million mileage.
. The expected price is from 320 to 350 thousand rubles.
. Production is planned to be established at regional mini-factories in the amount of 10 thousand cars annually.
. Euro-5 environmental standard is achieved due to the fact that the combustion of the mixture will pass without lubricant oil, the so-called "dry" burning mode.
Nearest overall counterparts " Mobile»Ford Ka, Hyandai Getz and Toyota Yaris. Perhaps the size is the only thing that the domestic "Ek Mobile" relates to these cars. For May 2012, the official certification of the novelty is scheduled, initially the car will receive Western certification, and only Russian. The presentation of Prokhorov noted that 90% of all parts were manufactured in the Russian Federation, and many unique technologies were developed by Russian inventors. However, the conveyor line of production in domestic factories will be experts from leading foreign autohygigants, representatives of which companies will be assigned so important task so far not known. " Ek Mobile"Opens new Class cars where the maximum space of the cabin comes to the first place with the minimum external dimensions, excellent dynamics and maximum thrust with minimal motor power and minimal fuel consumption, maximum environmental friendliness, minimum weight, maximum speed limit to minimize deaths in an accident, smart car system. In fact, the developers set a very difficult task that they intend to implement exclusively on their own, which is why there are so many doubts about the novelty.
The main intentions of manufacturers can be expressed by the following aspects.:
1
. Independent development of know-how, based only on the use of the discoveries of Russian scientists and inventors, as well as on the production capacity of domestic companies.
2
. Creating a socially significant product with "zero".

And yet the main issue remains the expediency of using the hybrid drive system. The opponents of this model are based on the fact that this technology has not yet been fully studied, and therefore much more profitable to make a standard gasoline car.
But supporters of hybrids put forward several undeniable advantages, among which:
. The ability to start the OBS in all weather conditions. Even on small turns (no more than 800 rpm) of the motor torque, enough for the start of the motor, at temperatures up to minus 30 degrees.
. The ability to start the DVS with the transfer turned on when the engine is heated. Even with the turn on the third speed of the electric motor, the electric motor is enough to start a heated engine.
. An extremely lightweight process of the Trokhan is up to the third transmission, which reduces the number of switching when driving in the urban cycle.
. Using the start-stop function, which allows you to automatically turn off the engine when stopping and include it during the start of movement. This is especially convenient in big cities, for example, when you are standing in a traffic jam or drive up to the traffic light.
. Improved dynamics during the start of movement and when overtaking. During engine revolutions, it is possible to quickly increase from 1500 to 3000 rpm without switching during this gear.
. Reducing fuel consumption with the same driving style compared to ordinary carat least 20%.
. A significant reduction in the emission of harmful substances by reducing the fuel consumption and turn off during braking and stops.
. Energy recovery at the time of braking.
. The possibility of using an innovative system and on some modern carsFor this, you need to replace the flywheel to replace the generator to the starter, connect a new control unit and the supercapacitor.
Manufacturers listened to many specialists and ordinary citizens about the improvement " Mobile" Some comments and suggestions were taken into account and will be reflected in the final prototype, which will be presented after making all the necessary changes. Among the further plans of manufacturers, it is possible to highlight the end of construction of the main plant near St. Petersburg, the start of assembly modules in the regions, accepting applications for the supply of cars, the completion of all tests and tests of the hybrid engine, the official premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the release of a limited pre-seventure party, full completion of all Testing of the car and the beginning of production Ek Mobile"At the first plant in July 2012.

Following the unsuccessful attempt to Mikhail Prokhorov, creating a folk hybrid "E-Mobile" attempts to create the first supercar in Russia. It was the development of Marussia Motors Nikolai Fomenko. Prokhorov and Fomenko swung on too ambitious and large-scale projects that need much more money, experience and time.
Businessman and politics Mikhail Prokhorov and actor and Showman Nikolai Fomenko unites ambitious desire to create a new pure russian car. Prokhorov in favor of its political ambitions wasveling to develop the first folk hybrid car, and Fomenko in favor of his love for motor racing and Formula 1 - the first Russian supercar. Outwardly patriotic. But both with the realization of the desired did not hold down, as symbolicly known in one day.
The closure of Marussia Motors reported first one of the forum participants on the Cardesing.ru website. According to him, Marussia Motors officers fired, the last two months they did not pay the salary. A part of the employees of the car company Fomenko has already moved to work at the Central Research Automobile and Avtomotor Institute (US), the participant of the forum reported.
In the Marussia Motors itself, the phones and writing request on Monday did not answer. However, we have confirmed the newspaper in us that part of Marussia Motors employees went to work at the Institute. We could not provide more detailed information in us.
After the company's closure surrendered on the Forum on the closure of Fomenko, this was confirmed by different media other former Marussia Motors employees.
Why closed
"The concept developed by the team Marussia turned out to be unwillingly, to embody it in a series impossible," says RBC one of the former employees. Production is also closed, the liquidation team sells assets, approves the former Marussia manager. In the project, private investors managed to invest about 100 million euros.
According to the source "Motor.ru", Marussia Motors is going to leave industrial premises At the plant refrigeration technology "Snowflake", which is located next to the Botanical Garden Metro Station.
There are no official reasons for the closure of Marussia Motors, and non-informal - Dryazgi Nikolai Fomenko with the leadership of the "Corget" and the lack of investments since last year. This was told by a former employee at the forum. The "tuple" is a project to create a car for the first persons of the state, whose developer performed the FSUE "We" with Marussia Motors.
On the closure of the project "E-Mobile" told in Onexim (85% in the joint venture "E-car") of the newspaper "Kommersant". The reason called, on the one hand, is quite logical and is suitable including for Marussia Motors. The situation in the Russian economy and in the automotive market is different than four years ago: the economy is compressed, and the sales of cars fall, the demand for the folk car is no longer so obvious. The weakening of the ruble increased the cost of production, components for which in the main mass should have been imported.
As a result, the budget of the project "E-Mobile" rose to 450 million euros, which automatically means the emergence of at all folk prices for the folk car. The price is already 1 million rubles instead of 350 thousand rubles at the very beginning of the project. Therefore, spending only a few hundred million euros, Prokhorov decided to recognize defeat.
Cool swung
However, on the other hand, it is quite possible that Prokhorov with Fomenko simply swung on too ambitious projects, without having calculated the terms of the implementation and scale of work.
The newspaper is a look, like many experts in the industry, have not believed that "E-Mobile" will ever go to russian roads. It was obvious to many, even when the company "E-car" announced a preliminary entry to a non-released national hybrid. The parameters of the project itself, the place and volume of production, as well as the price of the folk car constantly changed, postponed, were called new. And the fact that the heart of the car is its engine - will not be something innovative, in the company itself, they also recognized a long time ago. Why create what is already there? For example, AvtoVAZ, the most popular manufacturer, is a hybrid Ladagranta, which was helped to develop the same.
Prokhorov's projects and Fomenko failed because they decided to create a new "bike" from scratch. Whereas, cooperation with the already achieved success by international companies would significantly reduce both the value of ambitious projects and the deadlines for their implementation.
"Foreign companies have been manufacturing such cars for more than one year. The hybrids appeared approximately 15 years ago, sports cars - about 50. Accordingly, foreigners have a much smaller amount than with our production. All because we do not have production facilities that allow you to assemble such cars, and abroad they are, "says the newspaper the first vice-president of the All-Russian Public Organization" Russian Union of Engineers "Ivan Andrievsky.
Foreigners ahead, because it has long been investing in innovative automotive developments and spend billions for it. And they can afford it, because in parallel they earn on sales of traditional cars. For "E-car" and for Marussia Motors, their automotive projects are business projects from scratch with dubious business plans and payback, calculated only on generous investments of private investors.
In due time development hybrid Toyota. Prius, ChevroletVolti Electric vehicle Nissan / Renault cost about 1 billion dollars. Every year, the world's leading automakers carry out dozens of R & D totaling 2-4% of their sales, which is more than $ 30 billion annually or an average of 1-3 billion dollars per manufacturer (data from us).
For comparison: Prokhorov for four years spent several hundred million euros, Fomenko, according to unofficial data, 100 million euros, presumably since the establishment of the company in 2007.
The same AvtoVAZ tried to develop a new platform for updating the model line, even attracted a component manufacturerMagna. Then this project was covered, because instead of a budget car, a premium was obtained. And decide to sell dear car Under the Lada brand - obviously thrown on the wind money.
But when AvtoVAZ took advantage of the long-created R90-created R90 (this is platformLogan), a new modelLadalarGus immediately appeared. In the auto industry, the world cooperation has long been needed, as it is in aviation. And there, you look, Russian employees who have worked with foreign know-how will come in us and the car will be much faster for the president to replace Mercedes.
Get beautifully
We must pay tribute to Prokhorov, who not only enchantingly announced his project back in 2010 and quite actively pianil it (or himself) all these four years. He also finished this epic, a good PR shares: OnEksim spoke about the closure of the project only to one publication, the sources of which were considered that the company could sell his intellectual property at least 200-300 million dollars, and US or European manufacturers could buy the development of one large node for 200 million dollars. But instead, Prokhorov made a politically beautiful gesture - transferred technology to the state in the person by us. The project "E-Mobile" got the institute for a symbolic one euro.
Fomenko and Marussia differed more restrained PR strategy and turned the company also in quiet. The company just closed. Perhaps because attempts to sell were unsuccessful or selling simply nothing. At least if any transactions will not be announced, then it is.
Finded in the end of 2008 car Marussia B, and later - Marussia B2 and the concept of the Marussia F2 crossover, Fomenko never went. Although it was planned to bring Valmet Automotive Finnish engineering firm to bring these machines to small-scale production and actively promote in Western markets. But during this period, the company has its own team in Formula 1.
What awaits projects Marussia and "E-Mobile"
The Fomenko project for the creation of Suekarov, most likely there is no future. But the gospector for the development of presidential limousine still has a chance to be implemented. Still, German Mercedes cars are used to transport Russian leadership. In particular, President Vladimir Putin went to Mercedes-Benz S-Guard Pullman. In essence, the project "Torque" is the first to create a practical step on the creation of Soviet times domestic cars For VIP persons.
Yes I. Marussia Motors was only an assistant, and the main and uniqueness of the State order was determined by the FSUE "We". Getting the Working MARUSSSIA Institute will be able at least at the expense of employees who escaped Fomenko from the drowned ship.
Investments in a fairly relevant project "Torque" are already promised. In February of this year, the Government reported that it will allocate 3.6 billion rubles to this project for 2014-2016.
As for the technologies "E-Mobile", then the Ministry of Industry and Gratery perceived the transfer of these technologies by us and the state. However, that of them will be released, it is not clear. But it is unlikely that there will be a people's hybrid car for 350 thousand rubles, as Dreaming Prokhorov. The Ministry of Industry and Communion, together with us intend to study the work of the businessman's company and understand what projects they can be useful. The plant near Petersburg, which was built for "E-car", most likely, will also go to the institute.
The direction proposed by Prokhorov and Fomenko is absolutely correct, in this direction it is necessary to develop the Russian automotive industry, says Andrievsky. However, these failures now clearly made it clear that we could not do without the experience of foreigners.
