Vitaly Savelyev took part in the educational marathon "Knowledge. Science"
Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev delivered a lecture entitled "Transportation of the Future: Developing High-Speed Transportation" as part of the educational marathon "Knowledge. Science." The event was held at the National Center "Russia." The marathon was organized by the "Knowledge" Society and Moscow Polytechnic University, with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The event was timed to coincide with the Decade of Science and Technology.
In his speech, Vitaly Savelyev detailed a landmark project for the Russian transport industry: the development of a high-speed highway network across the country. According to the plan approved by President Vladimir Putin, five high-speed highway lines will be built: from Moscow to St. Petersburg, Minsk, and Yekaterinburg via Kazan, as well as lines to Adler and Ryazan.
The Deputy Prime Minister shared international experience in building high-speed rail lines—there are over 68,000 km of them worldwide. Russia is among the leading countries developing high-speed rail. Construction is currently underway on the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway. The new line will connect two major metropolitan areas and reduce travel time between the cities to 2 hours and 15 minutes. Trains will run every 15 minutes. The high-speed rail line is scheduled to open in 2028.
"The projects our country is implementing in this area are groundbreaking. They significantly strengthen our technological sovereignty and form a solid foundation for the development of the transport sector and industry for many decades to come," he emphasized.
Vitaly Savelyev also noted the importance of promptly monitoring current trends in digital technology development and developing the necessary competencies in Russia to remain among global technology leaders.
Answering questions from the audience, the Deputy Prime Minister shared his vision for the future of the transport industry, discussed the prospects of unmanned cargo transport and the latest changes to the regulatory framework for the use of unmanned aircraft systems, and also focused on the development of the aviation industry.
