Manturov called the timing of the start of production of cars on hydrogen in Russia

"I think that approximately the terms are similar, this is 2024," Manturova quotes TASS.

He stressed that "until a certain point, the production of cars on hydrogen will not be mass production."

“As for electric vehicles, this will happen even earlier,” the minister added.

According to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the production of electric vehicles will begin earlier than 2024.

Earlier, an independent expert in the transport industry, Alexei Tuzov, in an interview with PolitExpert, assessed the prospects of electric vehicles in Russia.
