Moscow, January 13 (Xinhua) – The TAD-650 asynchronous traction motor for a Russian high-speed train has successfully passed acceptance tests, Russian Railways (RZD) reported.
Testing was conducted at the Russian Electric Motors manufacturing plant in Chelyabinsk. The 650 kW engine demonstrated high energy efficiency (up to 96 percent) despite its compact size and weight of 750 kg. A high-speed train with eight carriages requires 16 TAD-650 engines.
As previously reported by the Russian Electric Motors plant press service, the first prototype electric motor was manufactured in 2024. It is designed for use on next-generation high-speed trains with a design speed of 360 km/h. The TAD-650 will power trains for Russia's first high-speed railway project, the Moscow-St. Petersburg line. Commissioning is scheduled for 2028.
