The Motorinvest company in Lipetsk has invested about 1 billion rubles in the modernization of the production of electric vehicles and hybrids of the Evolute and Voyah brands.
The main funds are directed to the reconstruction of the paint shop and increasing the level of automation of assembly lines. The upgrade will allow moving from large-node assembly to a full production cycle, including welding, painting and small-node assembly.
Prior to the modernization, all cars at the plant in the Krasninsky district of the Lipetsk region were assembled using the large-node assembly method. It is planned that no later than the first quarter of 2026, all Evolute and Voyah models will be produced according to the new cycle. The first model to undergo a full production cycle will be the Evolute i-SPACE hybrid crossover, which is scheduled to launch in early 2026.
Next in line for modernized production is the Voyah Free hybrid, which will begin production in the fourth quarter of 2025. The transition to a full production cycle will improve the quality and efficiency of car production, strengthening Motorinvest's position in the electric vehicle and hybrid market in Russia.
