The internal combustion engine then, is original. It is not an engine with its pistons in cylinders, but a mechanical whose architecture is closer to that of a rotary, although different from that of Wankel as we know at Mazda. This is a new type of engine, 100% Russian in design, and the engineers still keep silent about all the characteristics. We only know that it is bivalent, running on both gasoline and natural gas.

The best part is that this future mobile phone will only consume 3,5 l / 100 km, less than a Prius (which it is true is larger), and that it will be worth just over 11 euros ( 000 rubles). The car would be available in summer 450 in Russia, we are waiting to see.

Chassis details (common?):
There is obviously a "pneumatic" system ... braking regeneration or CNG tank?
Difficult to find more info without reading Russian ...
I guess the price of € 11 is worth for the simplest model probably the micro van ...
When you know the job it is to make a powerful and competitive hybrid (ask Toyota) and in addition to equip it with a new rotary engine (which we know the difficulties that this requires to develop). ..all at a democratic price (at least for us Westerners), well if they get there I say bravo because it is a real challenge!
In short let's wait to see the rest!
