In Russia, according to experts, there is also a shortage of engineering and design personnel, including in the field of electric transport, which began to form in the 1990s. It is part of Russia’s stage-by-stage lag in technologies. “In the 90s, Russia missed the technological order associated with the development of microelectronics.
For the past 30 years, Russian high-tech has experienced chronic underinvestment, which is only growing. Moreover, technological and production chains have collapsed, on the basis of which it would be possible to successfully create and develop innovative projects in the field of high technologies: very few design schools and high-class specialists have survived, and so far one can only dream of stable orders from private and public companies. .
All this leads to the fact that it is difficult for Russia to move into a new technological order, which is based on bio-, nano-, information technologies, artificial intelligence, and an integral part of which is a new generation of electric transport.”

Experts believe that in addition to batteries, in Russia there is a need for modern electric motors that allow more efficient use of the potential of electric transport.
“There are a lot of electric motors produced in the world, but these are mostly obsolete foreign-made products that can be installed, for example, on trams and trolleybuses based on Soviet designs. Electric transport has now begun to look beautiful, modern systems have appeared in it (for example, wi-fi, usb).
However, the power plant itself has changed. New generation engines significantly reduce energy consumption, providing 1.5 – 2 times longer battery life and new consumer properties.
For example, innovative electric motors “ELEKTROMOMENT” allow you to accelerate at rated currents. As a result, there is no network overload and no need to lay large sections of power cables. Such motors, when braking, can return almost 90% of the energy back to the network or battery!
