2022: Announcement
In mid-September 2022, it became known about the creation of the first electric car under the Aurus brand. The car is designed to transport passengers in park areas, it was developed by FSUE NAMI.
The car body is implemented according to traditional patterns for this type of transport - a power frame welded from steel pipes, as well as external panels made of composite materials.
No technical details are given about the model, except that it is definitely an electric car.
According to one version, the car is based on the golf car of the Russian company Eltavr, which has in its line a similar passenger electric bus Stagecoach, which seats 8 or 11 passengers depending on the version.
According to the official website of VDNKh, electric Aurus are used by the park for sightseeing tours, although earlier this duty was assigned to the 6-seater American electric vehicles GEM e6 from Polaris Industries. They are suitable for year-round commercial operation and are equipped with an asynchronous AC electric motor. Such a golf car is capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour and travels on one charge up to 48 kilometers.
It can be assumed that the new electric golf carts Aurus decided to import replace the American GEM e6.[1]
