The hybrid quad is versatile: it is suitable for both emergency services, as it can overcome off-road and tourist trips - the electric drive provides a quiet and smooth trip.

{{quote 'Specialists of the enterprise and the Bauman Moscow State Technical University have developed a hybrid ATV based on an existing gasoline model. While this is an exhibition model, however, in the future the company plans to launch a new modification. The capacities of the scientific and technical center allow you to produce up to 30 thousand electric drives for transport per year. Of these, up to five thousand are precisely for motor vehicles, - added Vladislav Ovchinsky. }}

In a six-wheel vehicle, two axles are driven by an internal combustion engine (ICE), and one is driven by an electric drive. At the same time, the development team managed to synchronize the operation of the ICE and the electric motor in a short time, as well as achieve high cross-country performance.

The company from the SEZ "Technopolice Moscow" creates innovative products in the field of industrial automation and drive equipment, relying on its own scientific and production base. One of the promising areas of its work is electric drives. The products of the scientific and technical center are not inferior as foreign analogues, - said Gennady Dogtev, General Director of the Technopolice Moscow SEZ.

This was made possible by the light and powerful electric drive from the EDM line. Despite their small mass, such drives have higher speeds, which means they are more powerful and efficient. Thus, the efficiency in certain operating modes reaches 95 percent.

In foreign markets, each self-respecting company already has an electric car in its lineup. This is a promising direction, so our company is keeping pace with the times, with understanding of modern trends. Our contribution to Russian models of electric cars is electric drives. This segment of the Russian market is now developing, and we can contribute to this growth with our products, "said Anton Pashigorev, project manager at NTC Drive Technology.
