SIBUR and Evocargo automate logistics in Siberia
SIBUR, a major Russian producer of polypropylene and high-pressure polyethylene for use in medicine, construction, agriculture and the cable industry, has begun transport of polymers using Evoсargo's N1 autonomous electric trucks. The N1 vehicles are now in operation at Tomskneftekhim, one of SIBUR's industrial sites in Tomsk (West Siberia).
Polymer products are transported by the N1 along a route designed by Evocargo experts based a specially prepared digital map of the facility, which takes account of road signs, markings, crosswalks, sidewalks, and other infrastructure features.

The vehicle, with cargo capacity of 2 tons and range up to 200 km, is equipped with a special covered body to protect polymers from heat and moisture during transportation. Evocargo’s autonomous logistics service includes maintenance and monitoring to ensure proper functioning of the electric trucks.

Autonomous transportation resolves driver shortages and ensures uninterrupted, accident-free cargo delivery. This turnkey service also enhances logistics efficiency by speeding up transportation and minimizing downtime during loading and unloading.

The electric-powered Evocargo N1 is environment-friendly and safety is ensured by a comprehensive multi-sensor perception system that uses advanced machine learning algorithms to accurately determine position, plan safe speeds, and predict movements.
The commercial rollout of Evocargo N1 at a SIBUR site demonstrates once again that autonomous electric trucks are a viable solution for logistics across various industries—from retail and distribution to metallurgy and oil & gas chemicals. We are also proud that the Evocargo N1 is the first autonomous vehicle to operate in the Siberian Federal District.
Vasily Zhukov
Commercial Director of Evocargo
Introduction of autonomous electric trucks for polymer transportation at Tomskneftekhim is a key step in our digital transformation and ESG strategy. This project is the first of its kind in Tomsk Region and within SIBUR. The autonomous electric truck eliminates atmospheric emissions and reduces the human factor, making transportation completely accident-free.
