Atom electric car with updated design unveiled

Kama has presented an updated design of the Atom electric car, the serial production of which is planned to be launched in 2025. The changes have improved the aerodynamic characteristics and ergonomics of the electric car, the company's press service reports. The main features of the Atom remain the same - hinged doors without a centre pillar, dynamic light bar, as well as front and rear optics in the original design.
The developers of the electric car improved the functional sample, which was presented in May 2023. Changes were made to aerodynamics, which affects range, handling, pollution and noise levels, as well as ergonomics, optimization of engineering design and manufacturing processes, safety and vehicle certification. To improve aerodynamic properties, specialists have modified the rear spoiler, which now not only improves driving performance but also visually extends the roof line, as well as the rear view mirrors and wheel arches.
In addition, they have added an active grille, changed the slope of the front end and the profile of the rear edge of the bonnet, developed a rear diffuser and made a local optimization of the D-pillar to differentiate between laminar and turbulent flow zones at the rear of the car. The developers have also improved the headlight unit and the contour of the functional LED strip, under which the radar module and camera for the ADAS 2.0+ driver assistance system are located.
The Atom electric car will be equipped with a 150 kW (204 hp) electric motor with a range of 500 kilometers on a single charge. The electric car has the following dimensions: 3,995 mm in length, 1,780 mm in width and 1,615 mm in height. Turning radius is 4.9 meters and ground clearance is 170 mm.

AVTOVAZ will restore production of full-featured versions of all LADA models in 2024

AVTOVAZ has completed the transition to a reliable alternative supplier of airbags for LADA Vesta and LADA Granta. According to the press service of the enterprise, from February 7, 2024 all LADA Vesta, coming off the assembly line of AVTOVAZ, are equipped with two airbags. Upon completion of the cycle of necessary tests and calibrations, the return of the driver's airbag on the LADA Granta will occur by the end of February 2024, and the front passenger - in March.
Recall that failures with the supply of airbags occurred in mid-autumn 2023, when a foreign supplier refused to ship products due to direct sanctions imposed against AVTOVAZ. Thanks to prompt preventive actions, the company managed to accumulate a sufficient stock of these components, which covered the needs of production almost until the end of last year.
Also, a reliable alternative supplier was quickly found, whose airbags underwent a full cycle of tests before being put into production. As Maxim Sokolov, President of AVTOVAZ, noted, 2024 will be in many ways a breakthrough year in achieving technological sovereignty in components and options, import supplies of which have become unavailable due to the introduction of the sanctions regime. "For example, already in March we will start producing Vesta with an updated LADA 1.8 EVO engine and automatic transmission, in the third quarter we plan to return to LADA Vesta ESP system, rain and light sensors and many other comfort options.
By the end of the year, we expect to equip Granta with climate and cruise control systems, update interior trim materials. But, perhaps, the most important thing will be to improve the safety of cars of the legendary Niva family - tests and works on equipping Legend and Travel models with airbags are in the active phase", - Maxim Sokolov told. Recall that in the second half of 2023, together with the Russian supplier - Itelma company, AVTOVAZ returned all LADA models to the environmental standard "Euro-5", which "with reserve" exceeds the current requirements of technical regulations in Russia.
