The Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov in an interview with TASS called the deadline for the emergence of cars in Russia, which will work on hydrogen.
“I think that approximately the deadlines [began production of hydrogen cars] similar, it is 2024,” said the official, adding that the production of electric vehicles can be established in Russia even earlier.
At the same time, according to Manturova, until a certain point, the production of hydrogen cars will not be massive. Currently, there is a single car on hydrogen fuel – Aurus, developed by the scientific institute we also presented in May.
However, the mass production of Aurus on hydrogen, according to Manturova, is possible only in the long run.
At the moment, the largest world concerns are engaged in the production and development of cars on hydrogen fuel, among which Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Audi, BMW, Ford.
