Contract for the creation of two locomotives has already been signed

By the end of March 2028, two high-speed locomotives will appear on the high-speed railway (HSR) Moscow — St. Petersburg. The speed of the trains can reach 400 km/h.

The project will be implemented by the company "Ural Locomotives". The agreement with Russian Railways has already been successfully signed. The creation of two new trains will cost 12 million rubles.
