MTME 5000 (utility vehicle)

2023: Product Announcement

The Center for Computer Engineering of South Ural State University (SUSU) has created a series of multi-purpose harvesting machines, including electric ones. The university told about this in early September 2023.

Among the cars created is the MTME 5000 model based on a self-propelled chassis using an electric drive. It is noted that a self-propelled communal machine for a large city was created by a team of design engineers, calculators, materials scientists and researchers. Two years have passed from the idea to the working prototype. By early September 2023, the vehicle is undergoing a series of tests.

Our development is a modern communal machine, which the Kurgan Road Machine Plant began to manufacture - this is a product of a large cooperation of machine-building enterprises. Innovative control system elements, drives, traction equipment, self-propelled chassis drives were developed and manufactured with the participation of industrial enterprises of the Chelyabinsk region. This machine was the result of work aimed at import substitution and technological independence, - said Sergei Taran, director of the Center for Computer Engineering at SUSU.

Also, SUSU announced the creation of a communal car "KO-318" based on the automobile chassis "KamAZ." By the beginning of September 2023, everything is ready for the start of mass production of new items. The main consumers of the universal harvesting machine at the university were called cities with dense traffic and large landscape zones. These are Moscow, Sochi, St. Petersburg, Stavropol and others.

By 2025, we plan to produce 150-170 units of equipment. The main consumers of a universal harvesting machine are cities with a dense traffic flow and large landscape zones, for example, Moscow, Sochi, St. Petersburg, Stavropol, - said Mikhail Sochnev, commercial director of Kurgan Road Machine Plant JSC (took part in the implementation of the KO-318 project[1]
