In recent years, we have carried out extensive work to upgrade our rolling stock:
🔹 Since 2020, it has been updated on the Koltsevaya, Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya, and Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya lines. It has also been equipped on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya, Nekrasovskaya, and Troitskaya lines.
🔹 We've begun upgrading the Zamoskvoretskaya Line trains: the share of new trains already exceeds 50%. We'll be completely upgrading the line by the end of the year.
🔹 Received 560 Moscow-2024 series carriages
🔹 The first "Moscow-2026" trains have hit the roads.
More than 350 carriages of the most modern “Moscow-2026” series will appear in the Moscow metro this year.
The Moscow-2026 series trains are among the most technologically advanced in the world, setting new standards for comfort and safety. They are manufactured using domestically produced components. The carriages retain the advantages of previous series trains: powerful air conditioning systems, wide doors and convenient inter-carriage walkways, adaptive lighting, color-matched backlighting, USB and Type-C ports, and numerous information screens. Compared to the "Numbered" series, the maximum capacity of the train has increased by 10 percent, and the doors are 32 percent wider.
The "Moscow-2026" train also features updated plastic trim on some interior elements, as well as glass on the entryway handrails and the rearview camera housing. The futuristic headlights have been redesigned—the headlights are now more elongated, appearing as an extension of the light strip at the front of the train. The design of the passenger-driver communication unit, including for passengers with limited mobility, has also been updated.
"Today, the Moscow Metro is a leader in train renewal among European and American metro systems. The share of modern rolling stock has grown to almost 80%—as recently as 2010, this figure did not exceed 13%. This is all thanks to the large-scale and systematic work we are carrying out at the direction of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. We plan that by 2030, over 90% of the cars in the Moscow Metro will be modern," said Maxim Liksutov.
