Russian weapon maker Kalashnikov Group has patented exterior and interior features of its new UV4 electric car, designed for the consumer market. The information appears in the database of Russia’s Federal Institute of Industrial Property.
UV4 is equipped with an electric motor with a capacity of 50 kW (68 hp), which will allow the car to reach the speed of up to 80 km per hour. The power reserve of this teal and plastic car is 150 km from a single charge.
Kalashnikov showed its first electric car in 2019. Since then, a small number of prototypes have been produced. The group did not specify whether serial production of these cars is expected in the future.
The group (partly owned by state corporation Rostec) designs and produces a wide range of civilian and military weapons. Its newest products include remotely controlled combat modules, unmanned aerial vehicles, multi-functional special-purpose boats, spacecraft, and missiles.
