Belarusian MAZ electric truck gets safety certificate

The result of a successful tandem of mechanical engineering and scientists, the Belarusian electric truck MAZ, has been approved for public roads. According to the test results, it has received a certificate of safety. Last year our scientists also created an experimental prototype of a frame electric car with carrying capacity up to one ton and a sports electric car. The engines, power electronics, and battery management electronics have been designed with domestic technologies in mind. All design calculations are performed by the computer center of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences. The work on launching mass production of MAZ electric car has already started. The institute's plans include joint work with Russian colleagues to create an unmanned electric car. Joint projects are also planned to create electric cars based on AvtoVAZ electric drive components developed in Belarus.
