Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, said:

“The contract will be the main one for financing the National Welfare Fund. The state subsidizes the purchase of Russian-made aircraftfixing shipping costs for airlines so that our carriers do not incur additional financial burdens.

Due to the fact that the aircraft of the first series are always more expensive, at the initial stage, the difference between the delivery price and the actual cost will be compensated by the budget. As production grows, we will move away from this additional measure.

Together with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, we worked to optimize the procedures for providing funds from the National Wealth Fund for the fleet renewal program. In the current situation, it is very important for us to quickly launch serial production under the contract.”

Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation, commented:

“Boeing and Airbus aircraft, which are unlikely to be delivered to Russia again, will be replaced by Russian-made passenger aircraft. Of the 339 aircraft, almost 300 are new-generation MS-21 and Superjet aircraft. The Tu-214 will become a reliable support – this aircraft was previously produced for special customers and has proven itself well.

The MS-21 will become the flagship of Aeroflot’s fleet, the pride of our aviation industry, it will feature innovative design solutions that, I am sure, will be appreciated by both pilots and passengers. I want to note that all aircraft will be supplied with Russian-made on-board systems and components.”

Sergey Aleksandrovsky, do Grupo Aeroflot, report:

“Today we signed the largest acquisition of domestic aircraft in the recent history of Aeroflot. This is an important step that determines the incentives and influences the future prospects for the development of civil aviation in Russia.

Aeroflot has successfully mastered and effectively operated the best models of domestic aircraft throughout its nearly century-old history. The signing of this Agreement clearly demonstrates to the whole world that Russia is a great aviation power with great potential and rich experience in the field of aircraft construction, capable of producing reliable and modern aircraft.”

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor. This combined technology was possible, according to Dacia, only due to the lack of clutch.
