Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced that the capital's metro would continue a large-scale upgrade of its rolling stock.
The first "Moscow-2026" train will be assembled by the end of the year. It will then begin testing on the Moscow metro infrastructure.
The new trains will retain the key advantages of the Moscow-2024:
Wide doors and inter-carriage walkways. Modern climate control systems. Adaptive lighting and multiple screens. USB and Type-C charging ports. Interior lighting in the same color as the line. And much more.
At the same time, the Moscow-2026 will feature partially updated plastic interior elements, glass on the handrails of the entrance area, the housing of the rear-view camera, and futuristic lighting at the head of the trains.
"The Moscow Metro is the capital's main transportation system. On weekdays, it carries over 8 million passengers. Ensuring passenger comfort and safety is our priority. In accordance with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we are continuing to upgrade the Moscow Metro's rolling stock. Currently, 79% of trains are new. We expect this figure to reach 90% by 2030. Furthermore, by the end of 2026, we plan to fully complete the upgrade of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line train fleet. To this end, over 350 modern "Moscow-2026" series cars will be delivered to the metro next year. Over the next two years, over 700 new cars will be delivered," said Maxim Liksutov.
