This year, the city purchased six Russian Ivolga trains for the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), including the most modern three-door Ivolga 4.0 trains. Infrastructure budget loans were used for these purposes, Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.
The infrastructure budget lending program is being implemented within the framework of the federal project “Infrastructure Menu”. Funds are provided for a period of up to 15 years at a preferential rate of three percent per annum. The program is aimed at financing the creation of infrastructure facilities in the regions.
“Loans are issued for important infrastructure development projects that help create conditions for business operations, improve the quality of life for citizens, and promote economic growth both in the regions and throughout the country. Moscow is using the opportunities of preferential infrastructure lending to upgrade the rolling stock of the Big Circle Line of the metro and the Moscow Central Diameters — the largest transport projects in the capital. Their implementation has increased the attractiveness of the city’s districts, contributed to the influx of investment into the Moscow economy, and created additional jobs,” said Maria Bagreeva.
The total volume of infrastructure loans approved for Moscow is 106.72 billion rubles. The 2022–2024 limits have already been fully used. These funds were used to purchase 26 trains for the Moscow Central Diameters and 468 carriages for the Big Circle Line of the metro.
“A modern and comfortable train is an important component of a comfortable trip. On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, we continue to gradually update the rolling stock on new diameters. From Zelenograd to Ramenskoye on MCD-3, only Ivolga trains are already running, we will fully complete the renewal of the train fleet on this diameter by the end of the year, and on MCD-4 we plan to do so in 2025,” said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry
Moscow is the country’s largest customer of trains. Concluding long-term contracts for the supply of modern rolling stock allows machine builders to plan work for several years ahead.
About 50 thousand employees of 600 enterprises across the country are involved in the production of Ivolga 4.0. This composition is a domestic flagship, the localization level of which has reached 97 percent.
