Metrovagonmash (part of TMH JSC) recently completed assembly of Russia's most modern train, the "Moscow-2026." The train underwent testing of all systems at the manufacturer's plant and additional checks at the depot.
Currently, it is undergoing a test run without passengers—the final stage before launch. During this run, metro specialists will analyze every detail, after which the train will enter service and begin full operation.
The test run consists of two stages. The train must travel smoothly on metro rails for: 1) 15 km and 2) 300 km.
During this time, dozens of parameters are checked, including:
1) safety and reliability of train operation on the line;
2) smooth ride on rails; 3) lighting and vibration in the cabin;
4) braking distance and much more.
In addition, all new components will undergo separate testing. If any deviations are discovered during the testing, they will be corrected and testing will begin again.
"Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has decided to purchase 40 additional cars, which will be deployed this year on one of the most popular lines of the Moscow metro—the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. The "Moscow-2026" trains are the most modern Russian trains, manufactured from domestically produced components. Over 700 new cars are planned for delivery over the next two years, which will allow us to complete the upgrade of trains on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. Currently, over 50% of the rolling stock on this line is of the new generation," noted Maxim Liksutov.
