At the "Uralskiye Lokomotivy" plant, the fitting of the head and nose cones for the high-speed railway train between Moscow and St. Petersburg has been completed. According to the press service of RZD, the procedure confirmed the geometry of the parts, the accuracy of their interface with the body, and the operation of moving parts.

The head module is a fiberglass shell with metal embedded elements and is responsible for the airtightness of the driver's cabin at speeds up to 400 km/h. The nose cone includes polymer and metal parts, a drive, and decorative panels, protecting the automatic coupler from snow, ice, dust, and dirt. Both elements were manufactured at a partner enterprise in Chelyabinsk, and their color matches the train's design.

The high-speed railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg will be the first in Russia. Travel time will be reduced to 2 hours and 15 minutes, and annual passenger traffic is projected to reach 23 million people by 2030. Construction work began in February 2026, with launch scheduled for 2028.
