Ural Electric Truck

2024: Product Announcement

On July 8, 2024, the Ural Automobile Plant presented an all-electric truck of its own design. The new modular electric platform provides a range of up to 250 kilometers thanks to a dual set of Russian-made traction batteries.

According to AZ Ural, the electric car has a 4x2 wheel arrangement, a total weight of 19 tons and a chassis carrying capacity of up to 10.5 tons. The car's electric motor is powered by 250 kW/h traction batteries. The electric platform was developed for use in urban conditions, and various add-ons for communal, road, construction and logistics equipment can be installed on it. One of the key advantages of the new model is zero carbon footprint and low maintenance costs due to the lack of an internal combustion engine and gearbox.

In addition, the Ural Automobile Plant presented the Ural S230E5 electric hybrid truck. This 4x2 wheelset brigade car is equipped with a generator unit that increases the range to 500 kilometers. The presented modifications of electric vehicles have already successfully passed preliminary sea trials and, after certification, will be sent to trial operation.

The start of mass production of all-electric trucks is scheduled for the end of 2025. The Ural Automobile Plant is actively developing a line of electric trucks, including models with a hydrogen fuel cell. In the fall of 2022, a prototype of the first model from the line was created - an electric truck with a hybrid power plant, which became the basis for subsequent developments. The next model is an all-electric truck without an internal combustion engine, with a range of up to 300 kilometers. The third model in the line is a car with hydrogen fuel cells.

The first model of the line - a garbage truck with a hybrid power plant (gas + electro) - was presented in 2023^[1]
