The acceptance of the new dual-system electric train "Finist" series ES105 has been completed at the "Ural Locomotives" plant.
The commission, which included representatives of Russian Railways, specialized institutes, suppliers, and the Ural University of Railway Transport, confirmed that the train meets all technical requirements. The electric train was assigned the letter O1, and a pilot batch of 60 trains was determined. Certification for mass production is expected in July.
The ES105 tests were conducted from November 2024 to April 2025. Two five-car trains participated in them, which made it possible to test the operation of the trains in a double-train mode. Research and development work on the project has also been completed.
The ES105 became a development of the "Finist" platform and is designed for operation on both direct and alternating current lines. It will replace the ES1 and ES1P ("Lastochka") models previously produced jointly with Siemens. The new train accommodates 386 passengers, and the number of seats for people with limited mobility has been increased. According to Russian Railways, the purchase of electric trains is included in the carrier's plans.
