Russian high-speed trains, tripling the capacity of BAM and the growth of the bus market. Oleg Makarenko Posting in CHAT: Russia 1. Construction of the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed highway has recently begun. Trains for the domestic HSR will be Russian (link): Russian Railways and Ural Locomotives have entered into an agreement on the production, certification and supply of the first two high-speed electric trains for the Moscow HSR. - Saint Petersburg. The cost of building these trains for the megaproject was announced by the press service of Russian Railways. Under the terms of the contract, the manufacturer must deliver operational trains by the end of March 2028. The cost of the contract is 12 billion rubles. The press service recalled that high-speed trains will consist of eight cars, and one train can be connected to another. In addition, four classes of service have been developed. A previous attempt to create a domestic express train ended in failure: the Falcon did not take off. However, it must be borne in mind that the nineties were a bad time for engineers. Now the chances of success of a new project are much higher. 2. The Baikal-Amur Mainline was built with great effort in Soviet times. All the media then broadcast about the progress of this Komsomol construction project, songs were written about it, films were composed and films were made. And in our time - quietly and unnoticed by journalists discussing secular people - the BAM was rebuilt so that its capacity tripled (link): The capacity of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) has tripled over the past 12 years and continues to grow. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this during the ceremony of presenting state awards on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of BAM, his words were quoted by the TASS agency. “This year the railway’s carrying capacity was almost 42 million tons. Over the past 12 years it has tripled. And the volume of cargo flows along the BAM continues to grow,” said the head of state. He added that over the next 10 years, the capacity of the Eastern site, connecting Baikal-Amur and the Trans-Siberian Railway, should reach the level of 270 million tons per year. Indeed, recently there has been frequent news about the construction of new bridges and second roads on the BAM, as well as on sections between the BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway (link 1, link 2); expand the railway network in Siberia. 3. In addition to railway transport, the volumes of railway transport (which we have already discussed earlier) and bus production are also growing (link): By the end of March 2024, 2,131 new buses were sold in Russia. – 50% more than in the same month last year. More than half (55%) of the total bus sales were from the domestic PAZ brand. Thus, in the first month of spring, 1,167 new “grooves” were sold. Next, with a huge lag behind the leader in the ranking, is the Russian NEFAZ (188 units), followed by the Chinese Yutong (169 units). The domestic LIAZ (152 units) also exceeded the mark of one hundred buses sold. But in the model assessment, five participants managed to do this. The first three positions are occupied by representatives of the Pavlovsk Automobile Plant - “PAZ 3204”, “PAZ 3205” and “PAZ” 4234. Oleg Makarenko https://dzen.ru Source link Source link
