Transmashholding presents next-generation EMU in Sochi

摘要

Tverskoy Wagon Plant, a subsidiary of Russia's Transmashholding (TMH), presented a mock-up of its next-generation EMU at the 9th 1520 railway forum organised by Russian Railways (RZD) in Sochi. The first of the Iwolga EMUs, series EG2Tv, will be designed for operation on high-density urban routes, and TMH plans to offer it to RZD for the new Moscow Circle Railway service. Tverskoy will produce the first two prototypes by the end of this year and hopes to certify them for operation in late 2015. Using the Iwolga platform, Tverskoy plans to create a range of single and dual-voltage EMUs for suburban, regional, and inter-regional services. The maximum speed of the trains will range from 160 to 250km/h.
