Moscow, November 9 – By the end of the year, the fleet of modern “Ivolga 4.0” trains on the Yaroslavl railway route will expand to 15 units. This is part of a large-scale rolling stock renewal program implemented jointly with the carrier CPPK and Russian Railways (RZD).
Comfort, Speed, and Safety:
- The first “Ivolga 4.0” trains have already begun operating this year.
- By 2030, 92 new train units are planned for procurement.
- The average age of the fleet will be reduced fivefold, to 3.5 years.
- New trains are 20% more spacious, offer 15% faster and more comfortable boarding, and feature 45% wider aisles—especially convenient during peak hours.
- The upgrade will enable the daily transport of over 300,000 passengers.
Implementation Stages:
- Comprehensive inspections and system adjustments are underway to launch the new trains.
- Special focus is placed on training locomotive engineers, who undergo additional training.
- A new division of the Tver Carriage Works has opened in Pushkino to monitor the technical condition of trains and perform scheduled maintenance.
Comprehensive Route Development:
- Additional tracks have been built from Moscow to Pushkino, reducing train waiting times by one-third.
- A transport hub has been constructed in Rostokino for seamless transfers from the Yaroslavl route to the Moscow Central Circle (MCC).
“The upgrade of the Yaroslavl route will allow even more residents and visitors of the capital to enjoy fast and comfortable transportation,” noted the press service of Moscow Transport.
