A new Russian train of the Moscow-2026 series has been launched in the Moscow Metro. According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the train has been launched on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and is already available to passengers. The maximum capacity of the new train has been increased by 10%, and the door width has increased by 32%, which improves boarding and disembarking.
According to Sobyanin, the Moscow-2026 has retained all the advantages of the previous series: powerful air conditioning systems, convenient inter-car passages and adaptive lighting. In addition, the new train has increased glazing area on the handrails of the entrance group, updated passenger-driver communication units and a rear-view camera. The seats are made without metal joints, and the number of air ducts in the ceiling for air conditioning has increased, which increases comfort inside the car.
The train underwent a test run without passengers, and experts checked every detail before going on the line. Sobyanin emphasized that the train is made entirely of domestic components. New lighting in the head section and technological systems make the Moscow-2026 one of the most modern metro cars in the world.
