The problem: environmental pollution. Although air is polluted in most Russian cities, the situation is not catastrophic due to specific weather conditions: the westerlies, vast forested areas, strong winds, etc. This is one of the reasons why Russia has a comparatively low transport environmentalization rate. However, high automobilization rate, especially owing to the secondary market may result in a rapid deterioration of the environment in the setting of changing climate conditions, low degree of environmental concern among the population and absence of necessary infrastructure. Furthermore, participation of the Russian Federation in international organizations, alliances and the global context in whole requires the country to conform with international standards and modern trends. Currently, enviornmental aspects are considered in many legal and strategic documents of the Russian government. Environmentalization of the automotive industry is required by the Strategy of automotive industry development in the Russian Federation until 2025 (No. 831-р, dated April 28, 2018), according whereto the transport used in the Russian Federation must be brought in line with the modern requirements of environmental friendliness and energy efficiency. According to the Strategy, transport electrification technologies involving use of electric cars and hybrid vehicles is a top priority area of innovative development of the automotive industry in the Russian Federation. Along with the measures aimed at improving competitive ability of Russian automotive products and introduction of such products to international markets, the Strategy describes measures to reduce the prime cost of cars, which may be achieved only if the following conditions are met: development of production of car parts in Russia, reduction of costs of raw materials, and improvement in efficiency of production. Production of high-technology car parts for electric cars and hybrid vehicles (hybrid engines, traction motors, and traction batteries) is expected to be launched in the Russian Federation in the medium term. Production of such parts is possible only if the car production output is increased; at the same time, car production is stimulated by high demand. Therefore, to fulfill strategic objectives, the production output must increase, therefore, there must be increased demand for domestic products, particularly for electic cars and hybrid vehicles as more environmentally friendly means of transport. According to the Strategy, by 2025, the share of electric vehicles in the Russian Federation must reach 5%, which is consistent with their share in the developed countries. For the current year, the share of electrified transport in Russia is lower than one percent. Even though strategic plans involve construction of charging infrastructure, the rate of such construction is clearly not sufficient to ensure a high electrification rate. The whole transport system must be dramatically reformed; this requires a large amount of additional resources. In order to fulfill the set objectives, a transition period is required, wherein hybrid vehicles may play the decisive role. According to experts, 75% of the electric cars currently manufactured around the world are hybrid ones (i.e. vehicles with at least two different power converters (engines) and two different (in-vehicle) power accumulation systems to propel vehicles). Hybrid cars and vehicles (HV) have been manufactured by car makers for more than twenty years. For instance, Toyota launched the first Prius G21 model in 1997. Commercial production of this model concurred with the Kyoto protocol - an agreement additional to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It made emissions reduction not just an intention, but an obligation of states. That is why commercial production of a hybrid car, whose main advantage was reduced fuel consumption and therefore less emissions, came just in time. Cost efficiency of a hybrid engine is based on rational fuel consumption, inactivation of the petrol engine and the system's switch to an electric motor if the car stops completely. Unlike batteries of electric cars, in hybrid vehicles batteries may be recharged by the petrol engine to increase the driving distance. Although car makers develop essentially different HV patterns, all of them feature one thing in common - the possibility to drive longer without refueling. This makes hybrid vehicles especially efficient in the urban cycle. Urban traffic is characterized by frequent gridlocks and therefore by frequent stops, during which the engine at idle operates as an electric motor. However, these advantages do not cover high prices of HVs. There are several reasons to that: 1. Only a few major European car makers offer accessible hybrid vehicles in selected markets, yet at higher prices than comparable regular cars. 2. European manufacturers design internal combustion-powered cars with extended transmission gears, direct petrol injection and turbo-ramjet drives to combine energy efficiency and high performance. Therefore, ICE-powered cars successfully compete with hybrid vehicles. 3. Attractive hybrid vehicles made in Japan are available in a limited number markets in a limited amount. 4. Car dealers around the world are not motivated to sell hybrid vehicles. Internal demand must be stimulated by government measures. In the current economic circumstances when the risk of a hybrid vehicle's prime cost reduction is limited, such measures may include replacement of the vehicles used by state organizations with domestic cars and stricter requirements to the vehicles sold and used in the Russian Federation. It is also necessary to develop expertise in the sphere of research and development of parts for hybrid cargo vehicles and commercial light hybrid motor vehicles to reduce their prime cost and improve performance. Transfer from internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered to hybrid vehicles is a serious step of modernization of the transport system, which requires a comprehensive approach possible when actions of all the parties to the process are coordinated. Such an interaction requires developing techniques and methods to promote such a coordination. Roadmapping (RM) or technology roadmapping (TRM) is one of such coordination-promoting tools.
