Liotech has presented the home power storage at RUSNANO’s exposition at the Gaidar Forum 2012

On January 18, 2012, Gaidar Forum – 2012 “Russia and the World: 2012-2020” opened at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in Moscow. It is constantly operating debatable platform, meeting place of the experts influencing a course of economic and political development of Russia. Key theme of the Forum – discussion about the results of expert groups work.

In the first day of the Forum’s work, RUSNANO exposition was visited by the first deputy of the chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Igor Shuvalov.

The most interesting object for visitors was so called “NanoHouse” – project of resindential building, showed the opportunities of using the nanotechnologies in construction sphere.

In the given exposition the model of the “household energy storage”, created on a basis lithium-ion of accumulators of the raised capacity, made by “Liotech” company, has been presented.

These energy storages will allow to raise the level of power safety in country houses. Events of the last winter (an “ice rain” in Moscow in the end of December) have shown vulnerability of electric systems against nature forces, therefore many private consumers began to think seriously about having an uninterrupted power supplies in their houses.

The world’s largest plant producing high capacity lithium-ion batteries has been launched in Novosibirsk region

The world’s largest plant producing high capacity lithium-ion batteries has been launched in Novosibirsk region today. The plant belongs to the LIOTECH Company – a joint venture between Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO) and the International holding Thunder Sky Limited. The total investment in the project has amounted more than 13,5 billion rubles. The plant which overall area of production facility is over 40 000 sq. m. has been built in a record-breaking period, just in 9 months.

USSR electric cars

We’ve found an amazing video of the electric vehicles made in USSR! Since the middle of the 20^th century Soviet scientists and engineers had been projecting electric cars. It was a great challenge. But to create an electric vehicle for long driving distances was an unreachable goal that time. There was lack of needed technologies. And only nowadays, we have all the key elements to build an electric vehicle using lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has given a test-drive to the first Russian Certified Electric bus TROLZA

On October 26 the IV International Forum on Nanotechnology Rusnanotech – 2011 has opened in Moscow Expocentre. The plenary session was attended by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov and the chairman of the board, “RUSNANO” Anatoly Chubais. The latter introduced the participants with innovative projects, including electric vehicles.

The novelty has interested President Dmitry Medvedev and he decided to test the vehicle. At the street booth of the manufacturer, the Moscow company MOBEL, the President had an electric bus test drive, having passed about 50 meters.

The head of the state appreciated the development of the Moscow machine engineers and wished them further success in the project. He also promised that electric transport development in Russia will be supported by the government.

The economic electric bus is made on the base of TROLZA trolley bus by two Moscow companies MOBEL and SRICI and equipped with lithium-ionic batteries manufactured by Liotech (Novosibirsk). For today the maximum speed of the bus is 75 km/h, run on a single charge – up to 250 kilometers, the ability for fast charge – 20 minutes, battery life – to 600 thousand kilometers. Electric bus is almost 2 times more economic than a trolley bus and 6 times more economic than a bus. The project of electric vehicles creation is supported by Department of Transport and Development of road transport infrastructure in Moscow.

Marussia B1 supercar

We’d like to present a star amongst Russian carmakers – Marussia Motors. Founded in 2007, the Russia’s first high-performance car company has become a great example of acting innovations and ambitions. The company’s first supercar Marussia B1 was unveiled in Moscow during 2008, and then it was followed by the world launch of the overtly aggressive Marussia B2 supercar at the prestigious Frankfurt International Motor Show in the autumn of 2009. A few months later Marussia Motors took the unprecedented step of becoming first Russian car brand to enter the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship.

During our meeting with Marussia Motors in Moscow, we were greatly impressed by Marussia B1 supercar.

The Marussia B1 is Russia’s first supercar; it combines a strong and distinctive character with cutting edge engineering. Following in the great supercar tradition, the B1 is a powerful and lightweight mid-engined, two-seater, which is trimmed with the finest natural materials and equipped state-of-the-art electronics.

Built around an extremely light and strong semi-monocoque structure, clothed in striking and aerodynamically efficient bodywork shaped using the same Computational Fluid Dynamics computer software the carmaker uses to design their Marussia Virgin F1 Grand Prix cars, and powered by Cosworth-built V6 engines developing between 300 and 420bhp depending on the specification, the B1 is a unique and sports car with world-class capabilities.

Despite its skeletal weight and high-performance the B1 is no stripped-bare road racer. Comprehensively equipped with an advanced infotainment system, air-conditioning and electric windows, a Marussia delivers performance tailored for the 21st century.

MOBEL conducts a test-drive of the electric Ford Transit Van.

MOBEL Group is ready to present a new prototype of the electric vehicle – Ford Transit Van. The vehicle has recently had the first test drive, which was quite successful. In the near future creators plan to organize the cabin upgrading and a final adjustment of running characteristics.
In October 26-28, the car will be represented at the Rusnanotech-2011 forum in Moscow

Robotic Parking System PAUSA

Power Group is developing the concept of a new, modern car storage system for Russian megaregions. Below there is a 3D visualization of robotic parking transport hub over the highway. One such complex is able to accomodate 1,000 cars on four floors of storage over a 6-lane highway, and 1,000 cars on five floors of storage over a 3-lane highway.

If you want to know more about our vision of the new automated car storage systems, you can visit our official website.

MOBEL continues to develop the electric tractor

The universal wheeled tractor BELARUS 920 (4×4) powered by a 81 h.p. engine falls into drawbar category 1,4 and is intended for wide range of agricultural works from tilling to harvesting and transport operations; it can be used in forestry, for communal services, in building and industry.

The tractor is equipped with a traction electric motor which runs from the power of lithium-ion battery in capacity of 53 kWh. Operating time of the tractor without additional charge – 4 hours.
