"Sovelmash" and ASPP Weihai: rivals or partners?

We often talk about the new achievements of ASPP Weihai Technology that creates electric vehicles with Duyunov's motors and enjoys the support of the Chinese government. At the same time, the project participants often ask whether Victor Arestov's company is a direct competitor of "Sovelmash", because the enterprises that cooperate with it could turn to Duyunov's team.

Let's explore this issue in detail.

The companies offer different products to different customers.
ASPP Weihai Technology modernizes traction motors using the combined winding technology and installs them in vehicles. "Sovelmash" has a different goal: developing motors (not only traction motors, but also, which is much more promising, general purpose industrial ones) that meet the needs of a given customer. To do this, it is necessary to build the design and engineering technology department, and the construction is currently underway in "Technopolis "Moscow".

Motors created from scratch are much more efficient than the modernized ones, they enable implementing the full potential of the "Slavyanka" technology.

ASPP Weihai shapes demand for the technology.
The global electric motor market is huge and continues to grow. In total, there are about 7 billion induction motors in the world, the same number is overhauled. Further growth in demand for them is predicted for the coming years. Therefore, it is very important now to make a loud statement about the combined winding motors, to demonstrate their advantages in practice. This is what Victor Arestov is doing by implementing projects aimed at creating electric transport in Southeast Asia. Here are just some examples of vehicles with "Slavyanka" created by his company that have proved to be excellent in real operating conditions:
- solar-powered golf cars (joint project with Solar Power Glory),
- electric boats approved by the government in Thailand,
- various models of motorcycles and electric cars.

Thanks to Victor Arestov, the innovative "Slavyanka" technology is gaining wider recognition in Asia, and his company plans to enter the European market (some E-cars have already received European certificates). By promoting the technology, he shapes demand for it. The more people in the world know about the combined winding motors, the more potential customers "Sovelmash" will have.

Thus, ASPP Weihai is not a rival, but a strategic partner of "Sovelmash", as Dmitriy Duyunov has repeatedly emphasized. You can find his comments on this issue in the video. Victor Arestov has also confirmed that one of the most important tasks for him is to find potential customers for the "Sovelmash" D3333E. That is why we are following so closely and will continue to follow the achievements of ASPP Weihai: they help the entire project move forward.
