A special presale program for the first batch of Russia’s Atom electric cars has been presented today at KAMAZ board of directors meeting in Naberezhnye Chelny. 

“I congratulate the Atom project team with being on the home straight. This is a real example of our capabilities to create new high-tech products, from engineering solutions to organization of production, in this case for automotive market. Atom has grown from an idea to a real product, which is currently completing the test stage and is being prepared for entering the market — electric car presale is to start today. Engineers were able to create a modern eco-friendly city car model with support from Rostec State Corporation and due to the personal involvement of Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ. The project is based on a proprietary platform with domestic battery, software and digital architecture solutions,” said Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rosteс State Corporation. 

“KAMAZ has been pursuing a course of providing regions of Russia with innovative vehicles for a long time already. I’m glad that our skills were helpful in creating Russia’s unique automotive project, which is being on the home straight now. Production of Atom electric cars will be a next step towards strengthening national technological self-sufficiency and authority of Russian mechanical engineering,” said Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ. 

KAMAZ personnel have got a unique chance to reserve Atom on special terms. By making an advance payment of 250,000 rubles, they not only fix the starting price of a car, but also get a set of advantages: access to future paid subscriptions and Atom services, a souvenir special-release key, Zabota complex service program and 3,000kW charge packet. 

The presale start is dedicated to an important production achievement. Assembly of the first RT series car was completed in late November 2025. These fully-featured preproduction prototypes are based on the same technologies and standards that will be used for mass production, which confirms that the project is ready for entering the market.
