Price of hydrogen Aurus revealed
At the end of August 2022, the cost of the hydrogen version of the Russian premium sedan Aurus Senat became known. The price will be 36 million rubles, and the manufacturer admits a rise in price.
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the distance that a new model can travel at one full tank refueling is 600 km. At the same time, it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 s. The car is equipped with two electric motors, as well as a hydrogen-fueled engine.
According to company representatives, 80% of Aurus Senat parts by the end of August 202 were made in Russia, the rest is supplied from abroad. They also promised that they would not allow the rise in price of new items to 50 million rubles under the conditions of sanctions.
According to Mash, the gasoline version of Aurus Senat initially cost 24 million rubles, but now it costs more due to the imposition of sanctions and rising prices for foreign components.
Earlier FSUE NAMI announced plans to release a whole line of hydrogen cars. Also participating in the project are "," Rosatom the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Science and Higher Education and "." Gazprom Which cars will be included in the line of hydrogen cars and how many of them will be is still unknown.
At the end of August 2022, FSUE NAMI, commenting on the information on the cost of a hydrogen car, noted that the car exists only in the form of a test prototype, on which engineers work out the capabilities of hydrogen technologies. Therefore, it is too early to talk about the cost.
In July 2022, an announcement appeared on the Avito Auto platform, according to which an elite Aurus car was sold in Moscow. It was claimed that the 2021 Senat model had one owner - a legal entity, and the mileage was equal to 300km. The price of the vehicle was 35 million rubles.[1].
Disclosed are the characteristics of hydrogen Aurus
In early July 2022, the Russian Research Institute of Automotive Industry FSUE NAMI announced the start of work on test samples of the Aurus Senat sedan with a hydrogen power plant.
The hydrogen version of the Aurus car has a range of 600 kilometers and is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in four seconds. The return of the power plant has not yet been named. However, such a Senat should be more powerful than the standard 598-strong version based on the best acceleration time with a larger mass due to a large battery. By July 4, 2022, only test and demonstration samples are made, TASS reports with reference to the materials of NAMI.
It is reported that the machine is equipped with a combined electrical installation combining a traction electric drive and an electrochemical hydrogen generator. The car is all-wheel drive and the battery capacity is 100 kWh. At the same time, the battery is designed specifically for this project and is equipped with a liquid thermal control system.
On June 4, 2022, Aurus Sales and Service Director Artem Yusupov assured that supply problems would not interfere with serial production of cars. According to him, the company is not experiencing any production difficulties, the plant is fully equipped with the appropriate equipment that is necessary in order to produce Aurus Senat cars, this prospect is long-term.
Earlier, FSUE NAMI announced plans to release a whole line of hydrogen cars. Also participating in the project are the Rosatom Russian Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Science and Higher Education and "." Gazprom Which cars will be included in the line of hydrogen cars and how many of them will be by the beginning of July 2022 is unknown.[2]
2021: Hydrogen Car Announcement
In early September 2021, the presentation of the first hydrogen car under the Aurus brand took place. The novelty is called Hydrogen. At the time of the announcement, little is known about it: the hydrogen-fueled car has no CO2 emissions, and the range can be 600 km. The cost, timing of the start of sales and detailed specifications of the car by September 2, 2021 are not named.
Earlier it was reported about plans FSUE NAMI (the main developer of the Cortege project, within which a line of models for the first persons states of Aurus was created) to release a whole line of hydrogen cars. Also participating in the project are "," the Rosatom Russian Academy of Sciences (), RAS Ministry of Science and Higher Education and "." Gazprom Which cars will be included in the line of hydrogen cars and how many will be, by September 2021, not reported.
By early September 2021, NAMI is also working on the possibility of creating a fully electric Aurus. The battery car on the electric platform will be worked out over the next few years. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov previously outlined the timing of the appearance of such cars on the market - this will not happen until 2024.
The first laboratory sample of Aurus on fuel cells was presented in May 2021. His test drive was conducted by Denis Manturov, according to the results of the trip, he especially noted the silence of the engine.
The production version of the Aurus Senat luxury sedan is equipped with a hybrid installation consisting of a V8 4.4 engine with two turbochargers and a 62-horsepower electric motor located between the internal combustion engine and the nine-band automatic. It is assumed that in the future the electrical component will become more powerful, and the engine, on the contrary, will lose part of the working volume and power.[3]
