During his working visit to Kursk Oblast, Dmitry Grigorenko got acquainted with the results of the implementation of the federal program for the comprehensive development of urban electric transport in the region. With Acting Governor of Kursk Oblast Alexander Khinshtein
Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, during a working visit to Kursk Oblast, familiarized himself with the results of the implementation of the federal program for the comprehensive development of urban electric transport in the region. The program is being implemented under the leadership of the Deputy Prime Minister.
To date, Kursk has fully delivered new rolling stock: 10 electric buses and 22 low-floor trams “Lvenok” of domestic production have arrived. They are equipped with a control and video surveillance system that ensures the safety of passengers during the trip. In particular, the operator of the control center can monitor the situation inside the car and quickly respond to possible incidents. Particular attention is paid to the comfort of passengers: trams and electric buses are equipped with climate control with an air purification function and USB ports for charging mobile devices.
New tram cars run along the section of tram tracks reconstructed within the framework of the program. At present, its total length is 25 km, which is more than half of the planned figure.
Innovative solutions were used during the modernization of tram lines: seamless rail connections and special noise-absorbing technologies were used. As a result, trams move along the route almost silently, and in terms of travel comfort they are not inferior to modern electric buses. Such a technological solution not only increases passenger comfort, but also improves the environmental situation in the city.
“In Kursk, the delivery of new trams and electric buses under the city electric transport renewal program has been 100%. Residents have already had a chance to appreciate the modern transport and even gave the trams their own names. It is important for us that the program not only increases passenger comfort and safety, but also arouses genuine interest among city residents. Construction and installation work is currently underway in the city: the plans include the reconstruction of the tram depot, as well as the modernization of another route. Work continues to make city transport even more convenient,” said Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.
“Kursk Oblast has become the first region where new electric buses have entered service, and 22 modern trams are already running on the renovated tracks. But without federal support, it is impossible to complete the project – the cost has increased, and two emergency overpasses require urgent repair. For Kursk residents, a tram is more than just transport, it is part of the city’s history. I thank Dmitry Grigorenko, the Government and the federal center for their constant attention and support to our region. I am confident that together we will bring this important project to completion,” said Acting Governor of Kursk Oblast Alexander Khinshtein.
Kursk has also implemented a digital platform for public transport management. It consists of 8 modules that perform various functions – from informing passengers to controlling passenger flow and other functions that optimize traffic on the road and increase the capacity of public transport.
A comprehensive program for upgrading urban electric transport is being implemented in a number of large regions of Russia, including Lipetsk, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, Kursk, Saratov, Volgograd, Rostov regions, as well as Krasnodar and Perm territories.
The program is financed by federal and regional budgets, VEB.RF loans and private investments.
