The Nizhny Novgorod company "Promteh" presented a new family of light commercial vehicles Kapitan-C at the NAMI test site. The line includes minivans and specialized versions, which are planned to be launched in the spring of 2025 at a price of 4.5 million rubles.
The presentation featured a short-wheelbase 7-seater minivan L1H1, a long-wheelbase 7-seater minivan L2H2, as well as a long-wheelbase version of the "Social Taxi" equipped with a wheelchair lift. The first two modifications are equipped with a 2-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 150 hp, working in tandem with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The taxi version is equipped with the same engine, but with a 6-speed manual transmission.
In fact, Kapitan-C is a localized version of the Maxus V70 model, also known as Iveco Fidato and Chevrolet Express Max, which has been produced since 2023. The differences between the Russian version are mainly in the design of the front end.
Currently, the certification of the main modifications of Kapitan-C is being completed. At the same time, the assembly of cars from large-unit SKD kits is underway at the facilities of the ENA auto division, which is part of the Promteh structure. From May, the company's dealers plan to start selling a new line.
The main specialization of "Promteh" is the production of commercial and special vehicles based on Lada and GAZ. Under the Kapitan brand in 2024, the company introduced rebranded Chinese Huanghai N2 pickups, and in early 2025 announced a van, combi, minibus and ACMP on the same platform.
