March 23, 2021 it became known that Ford is preparing for the production of electric vehicles in Russia. We are talking about the Ford E-Transit electric van, the assembly of which at the Sollers company will begin in 2022.
The representative of Sollers told Kommersant about this. He noted that the production will be launched in parallel with the main diesel platform Transit.

The use of electric transport reduces operating costs compared to traditional diesel cars by up to 40%, which, in turn, makes it possible to reduce payments by 10-15% in the operation of electric transport compared to transport on a diesel engine, the group calculated.
The company believes that the share of electric transport in light commercial cars (LCV) Russia in will be about 1.5% in 2022-2023, and by 2025 it will grow to 4%. Dmitry Babansky from SBS Consulting calls this assessment realistic. According to the expert, a tangible incentive to localization would really be a revision of the 719th resolution and an increase in the number of points for electric transport, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Russian batteries and an electric motor.
In addition, Sollers considers it necessary to place charging stations in cargo parking lots transport at the entrance to the city and along county roads intercepting closed-type parking lots and parkings of large hypermarkets. Finally, electric trucks, according to Sollers, should be included in the preferential program for operational leasing "Affordable Rental" with the possibility of increasing the discount on cars from 25% to 35%, as well as to further localize their production to review current requirements.
