Moscow Polytech Rector Discusses University’s Achievements in the “Priority-2030” Program
In an interview with the “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” Newspaper, Vladimir Miklushevskii, Moscow Polytechnic University’s Rector, spoke on the university’s achievements under the “Priority-2030” programme. He highlighted several projects, including the development of a Russian L7 category electric vehicle in collaboration with “Autotor Holding.”
Moscow Polytech’s involvement in the project to create a Russian L7 category electric vehicle, implemented by partner company “Autotor Holding,” is a significant achievement for the university. It is noteworthy that the vehicle’s primary components, including its engine, inverter, control boards and batteries, have been designed and manufactured domestically in Russia.
The vehicle also features a lightweight polymer body. The use of modern IT technologies has minimized the need for costly physical tests, accelerating the development process.
This vehicle is designed for use in urban areas, with a focus on students, young families, municipal services, car-sharing and delivery services. The project is currently at the stage of producing a pre-production batch.
As part of the “Priory-2030” initiative, Moscow Polytech has created several additional innovations, including an electrified machine for municipal services, a portable switching and power module, a universal unmanned platform and an electric braking mechanism.
In its strategic plan up to 2036, Moscow Polytech has identified two key areas for development: the creation of a modular platform for electric vehicles and the localization of critical automotive components.
“We are committed to launching new educational programs to train designers and tech startups capable of developing such products and technologies,” the Rector noted.
Vladimir Miklushevskii also discussed the university’s plans to establish a specialised programme in technological leadership training for engineers. By 2030, the university aims to train 200 high-level developers.
“For the first two years, students will study together in a joint course, and then they will be divided into groups for in-depth theoretical studies,” he explained.
To support these projects, Moscow Polytech has established several new laboratories, including a Printed Electronics lab, a Digital Technologies Section in Foundry Production, and a Chemical Engineering Design Bureau.
