Purely Russian, budget car "Bear" in the beginning of next year will go on open sale, assured Leonid Zagorski, gene. Director of Bear-Tula-Moscow" (MTM). Fifty pre-production cars are already running on the roads.
This is a very simple biography of this project. In the mid-90s, the domestic automotive industry fell apart, talking about the disappearance of Russian marks as inevitable. It was then, in 1997, in the "Avtoselbosch Holding" (created on the ruins of the Soviet Union of the Soviet Union) designed a compact, inexpensive car. No one doubted that she was sold. The media reported that the future with "Mischka" was to bind the Leningrad Northern Plant, the Stavrovske machine equipment, one of the enterprises in Vladimir, Krasnodar "KavKAZ-M" and even some fur factory. The licence to manufacture machines was allegedly purchased by BelAZ. The plans have been designed with annual production of up to 30,000 units. ), and the Krasnodar plant under the project entered into a contract with the US company. The Americans were told to provide resources, specialists and even new technologies for the release of Michael's family (so they renamed it) cost from 3000 (base) to Euro5, 000 (motor 1.4 litre, 78 l. , AQUA) ... However, the troubles in the economy of the country and the world crises have buried all the projects. Gambit Carpovaz is the only exception. In January 2003, "Mischka-Tula-Moskva" (MTM) was established, among the founders of the administration of Tula region, as well as the grandmaster Anatoly Karpov. The first face of the province changed, and the attitude to the project-the production areas of the Tula combine-new factory was changed, they were denied. But Karpov remained the locomotive of the project and, together with his colleagues, brought the case to the final stage: the machine passed the certification tests, it received "Approval of the vehicle type", and preparation of production is being completedThe first Mishka was ready when the snow was still in 2011. The number on the hisel is shown under the hood: the car is a recognized member of the car. Who's the baby?The car belongs to the category of CDs (A-class), it is the most inexpensive in the Russian market: the declared price of the basic equipment with the station wagon "station wagon"-195,000 rubles. Its potential buyers are pensioners, rural residents, people of hobby-fishermen, hunters. The car can be in demand in the police and health services, especially in the periphery. "Mischka" could be the second car in the family. There is also a special, social purpose of the minor: it is adapted for the disabled without limbs (see below for details). Construction: simple, reliable, inexpensive Carcas is made from a square section of the pipe, from low-lying steel, and a wall thickness of 3 mm. As a result, it will retain its properties for a minimum of 10 yearsThe plastic parts of the body are affixed to the framework (sheet plastic is made on "Sibur"). Engine and manual gearbox-Melitopol Motor Plant (they are familiar with ZAZ products). However, the "Miski" design is such that it allows the car to be adapted to power units (1.1-1.3 l) of foreign producers, such as Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot, Hyundai. Adaptation won't take long: it's enough to replace the mimic with the engine. Other components are borrowed from Oka, as well as VAZ, UAZ, GAZ and ZAZ models-just to buy them in shops and auto parts markets. Repair and maintenance of equipment can be made to existing STOs. Loans from domestic brands are immediately visible in the salon: tumblers, buttons, cleaning and other things for very many recognisable. If you talk about the feelings behind the wheel, the person who is not comfortable is going to sin.The level of equipment, comfort, and ergonomics correspond to the budget of Mischka, but the owner will get at least what he paid for. Most likely, he will want to improve the soundproofing, and there will be no more EID. Other options include comfort and money. That's what the owner doesn't do, doesn't run the MCP pen, and it's a short, manipulated, you have to pull. However, this is a pre-production specimen, so that judgment will be passed when we test the goods vehicle. The options are the car for all signs of a low budget,-said Leonid Zaghorsky,-however, in the subfloor space there is enough space to fit the options to increase the level of technical equipment and comfort such as the power steering, ABS, air-conditioner and others. We are ready to install torpedo, seats, interior plating elements from better materials. For which, of course, you will have to pay. Salon, baggage car is certified in "station wagon", "van," "pickup." However, as was expressed by Leonid Zagorsky, "the claims and the" landau "are" valid. " The body of the body of the body is composite, which means that the station wagon is simply transformable: swinging four bolts, it is easy to remove and remove the rear. There's the landau. With a station wagon. The rear door half-door swings upward and downward. The bottom-loading platform is easy to load. After simple manipulations, the estate turns into a landau. A sense of space in the salon can be presented on such comparisons. The Koozes are 12 mm wider than the Oka. On the inside, the ceiling is not pressuring, at least for the height of up to 190 cm. Behind the wheel, the seat is comfortable enough. The two rear passengers, if they're adults, have to sit in a barrel. Three in the back. The back of the driver's seat is tilted and the spacious passage to the back of the driver's seat is made. The front passenger moved his chair forward to create room for his legs. Isn't that a family car?If you fold up the backseat, the trunk is just going to be a big one. The official technical specification states that its maximum volume is 800 litres, but in fact, Leonid Zagorsky claimed that it is about half a hundred liters more. From the photo below, you can see what the real capacity is. (Sorry, dear readers, because the format of the photo is so small-it is made by a cell phone camera. But consider what's on it.) The picture was sent by a party who bought Mishka literally a week ago, and on the next day he went to buy supplies for the winter. The bags were placed in the trunk: 7 bags of potatoes (40 kg), two bags of onions (35 kg), on a bag of beet and cabbage (25 kg). The owner and his wife were in the salon. As the driver said, the car was carrying no tension. Auto for a disabled person with a spring-spring drive to the administration. The options of the mechanism are several for the legless, with one right or left foot. The doors of the car are made in the same way as "Okie", so door openings are wide enough. The armchairs are located at the same height as the wheelchair seats. Thanks to all this, the procedure for the movement of the wheelchair from the wheelchair to the driver is as simple as possible for the driver. It is necessary to hand over the proper "car team" Anatoly Karpov: today (and for a long time) no manufacturer in the country produces cars intended for persons with disabilities. In Europe they are, but their units, and the price of European equipment is higher. The design with the participation of Franco Sbarro "Parents" "Mischka" is aware that the appearance of the typewriter, natives of the last century, is simple-and intends to improve it. For three months, they passed the car into the workshop of famous Swiss designer Franco Sbarro, and the specialist already made a number of comments. He intends to advance the appearance by taking advantage of the shape of the body, as well as to make changes to its individual components. So you can expect the car to look a little bit more than that. Now the parties are in the pre-contract condition, Leonid Zagorsky said. And there will be no case for the Master's ideas. Since the "wear" of "Mischka" is plastic, "it will take approximately three months to make the snap-in," the Director General of MTM said. It is impossible not to evaluate this characteristic of the machine: it is 185 mm. But the potential for obstruction also increases the configuration of the bottom: it is almost flat. The parts are the tailpipe and the handbrake actuator. "Mischka" showed true all-loophole and during the snowy and in the mud and in the sand. It should be noted that during the sandy test, the wheels, even a little faded, were able to resist the sand, not stop spinning and drop out: 70 l. the engine, with a small weight of the machine, is more than enough. And in terms of "parents" of the car, to create a 4x4 version of it. Bon-plating variant: petrol + gas "Mishka" can be produced in a bifuel variant and work on petrol and liquefied gas, which is twice cheaper than gasoline. The gas cylinder (also obtained certificate) will be located in the neck for the spare, in the back of the trunk. It is a toroidal form (that is, almost repeats the shape of the wheel), its capacity of 42 l. Gas flow-7 l/100 km. Thus, a car with two loaded fuel tanks can travel about 1,300 km. The spare spot is below the boot field level. In the modification of the hybrids, the 42-litre gas tank (in the form of a bagel) will be taken by the hybrid (in the form of a bagel). Start of motor-always on petrol, after heating up to working temperature it is automatic switch to gas. Starting with the ignition key on "off" The power system is again automatically transferred to the petrol supply. Gas equipment is Italian. Reliability This feature is probably interested in every potential buyer of Mischka. Against the background of the contract, the parties immediately install the barrier: the components intend to purchase only original, directly from the producer. And the hope for a decent quality of assembly is technology: cars will not assemble in the conveyor, but on the stampings. Each statue is assigned to a crew, and the products are marked with a personal brand. Admisation, it is easy to identify the perpetrator-a specific brigade, and she is obliged by the position to pay damages from his own fund. Understandable, this kind of incentive would make it work without sin. Investment on the complex previous fate of the project may raise a concern-will it be possible to bring it to a serial production? In other case, do we have enough finances? Leonid Zagirsky explained: " Right now, there are no 'living' money for the organization of serial production in our hands, but will soon appear. We have prepared the issue-an additional issue of shares of the company, which will be located on the stock exchange in the fourth quarter of this year. I can say that reputable investors have already firmly expressed their interest in participating in the project-to assess the ready-made cars, and to believe in the profit of the enterprise, having studied our business plan. It includes a net profit from the sale of every car in the amount of 20 to 25 thousand cars. Rub. , and we are going to set out in a few years for an annual output of 20,000. At the same time, I must note that the business plan was deliberately made in a pessimistic scenario-the purchase of components by high retail, not low wholesale prices. So, in practice, the costs will be lower than the plan. Leonid Zagorsky was involved in the practical implementation of the project from scratch. "And then, there is another reason for investors to be confident in the success of the enterprise," continued Leonid Germanovic. -His guarantor is Anatoly Karpov, who knows how to calculate the situation. So the funds will be available soon, and in the first quarter of next year, the Mischka will go on sale. It's also about money, not investors, but buyers. MTM reached agreement in principle with one of the banks that Mishka would be available on loan at a low interest rate. The digit is 6%. It is estimated that the monthly repayment of the loan will amount to about 3,000 people. Rub. Such amounts are to be paid to people and to moderate income. The name of the "Mishka" sounds nice for the hearing of the Russian, but it turns out the name is not a model, but the project. The producers decided to hold a nationwide contest in which they will choose the name of the small. Soon the contest will be announced. One of the things called is in the air. Recall, Chairman of the Board of Directors of MTM Anatoly Karpov-the 12-time world champion, international grandmaster, cavalier of many orders and medals (not only for achievements in chess), is the head of the Russian Peace Foundation. In short, one of Russia's most prominent representatives. People from his environment are talking about his pure human qualities ...However, Anatoly Yevgenyevich has one, from the point of view of the motorist, the flaw: does not drive a car. Not only did he not have a driver's license-he does not feel the joy of driving, never got behind the wheel and does not pull. Don't you think that "neuder" Karpov in history with "Mischka" has shown another value that the car community has to evaluate? After all, he has taken over for many years (through crises, refusals of sarcasm sarcasm), a difficult case, a wreath-a product, not close to him personally, either in spirit or needs, but the needs of tens of thousands of fellow citizens. His name will always be immortem in some classical form. But why don't you just call him his name "his" car?
