In Moscow, at the electric transport parade, the Voyt SUV electric crossover was presented – a promising development from Rosatom's composite division. The model is built on a universal electric vehicle platform that allows for the creation of cars of various classes – from sedans and hatchbacks to crossovers and minibuses.
The crossover, like the previously shown Voyt LCV van, is created with extensive use of polymer composite materials. The main feature of the platform is a load-bearing structure made of a hollow carbon composite profile, which simultaneously functions as a power casing for the traction battery. This solution significantly reduces the vehicle's weight: developers state that the mass of the pilot product, including the battery, is around one ton, which is noticeably less than the average weight of electric vehicles.
According to the developers, a 32 kWh battery provides a range of about 300 km according to the NEDC cycle. The creators note that this range is sufficient even for operation in winter conditions, taking into account the use of a heater and accelerated battery discharge in the cold. In the future, it is planned to install batteries with a capacity of up to 42 kWh, which will increase the range to 337 km.
More than 60% of the electric vehicle's components are produced by Rosatom enterprises. The Voyt brand was registered in the summer of 2024, and a full-size mock-up of the crossover was previously shown at the "Composites Without Borders" festival at VDNKh. UMATEX (a subsidiary of Rosatom) has already filed a patent for the electric vehicle's design.
Earlier, developers stated that with relatively small production volumes (up to 10 thousand units per year), electric vehicles on the Voyt platform could be comparable in cost to conventional cars equipped with internal combustion engines. Serial production is planned for late 2029 – early 2030.
