During a working trip to the Sverdlovsk region, Vitaly Savelyev visited the Ural Locomotives plant in Verkhnyaya Pyshma

Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev made a working visit to Sverdlovsk Oblast. During the trip, he visited the Ural Locomotives plant (part of the Sinara Group) in Verkhnyaya Pyshma and held a meeting on the implementation of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg high-speed railway (HSR) construction project.

The plant in Verkhnyaya Pyshma will become a site for the production of trains for the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed railway. A complex for the production of high-speed electric trains with a total area of 60 thousand square meters will be built on the territory of the plant in 2026. The train for the high-speed railway will be a unique domestic product, the result of cooperation between more than 100 manufacturers of components and technical solutions, many of which have already proven themselves in the production of the Finist and Lastochka trains. In terms of technical characteristics, it will surpass many foreign analogues – an aerodynamic shape with a minimum drag coefficient will reduce noise and energy consumption. The train will be made of state-of-the-art materials, extruded aluminum profile, which will reduce its weight to fully comply with the technical parameters of the project.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the high pace of work. The site presented prototypes of high-speed electric train components manufactured by Russian enterprises: an engine, a traction inverter and elements of a traction gearbox.

In the summer of 2027, the first two trains will be handed over for certification and infrastructure testing.

At the meeting on the implementation of the high-speed railway construction project, the participants discussed the current status of the main stages. The reports were made by the Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit, the Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov, the General Director of JSC Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov and the General Director of the Sinara Group Viktor Lesh.

The project is being implemented according to schedule. In July of this year, according to the terms of the concession agreement, it is planned to receive a positive conclusion from Glavgosexpertiza on all stages of the design documentation, after which construction work will begin on the main high-speed section. Work on the access sections is already underway. The start of passenger transportation is scheduled for April 2028.

“The construction of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg HSR is a landmark event for the development of the Russian transport complex, it is one of the anchor megaprojects of the national project “Efficient Transport System”. The launch of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg HSR will mark a new level of quality of passenger service in the country, will connect two major agglomerations, will have a qualitative impact on the growth of population mobility and increased connectivity of territories. As of today, we are moving according to schedule, ahead of schedule in a number of areas. The Government of the Russian Federation pays close attention to this project, since it is a pilot project for the subsequent development of high-speed traffic in the country,” noted Vitaly Savelyev.
