Source: Moscow Metro

According to the Moscow Government’s Department of Transport, the capital has become the largest consumer and producer of electric vehicles. The city’s industry closely interacts with transport. It produces 57% of all Russian electric vehicles and is home to two companies in the passenger electric vehicle segment—Moskvich and Atom.

Maksim Liksutov spoke about the achievements of Moscow industry.

Moscow is a leader in transport engineering not only in Russia but also globally. For example, the SVARZ plant in Sokolniki is developing production of the most advanced KAMAZ electric buses. Final assembly of these eco-friendly vehicles is carried out here.

All complex microelectronics for commuter rolling stock are manufactured in the capital.

Moscow companies produce high-tech equipment for traffic management systems, smart road signs, and traffic lights.

The Technopolis Moscow special economic zone, on the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, places special emphasis on developing social infrastructure. Employees here have access to a variety of sports facilities and services. The city is successfully developing a joint project with Rosatom to create a modern Gigafactory. The plant will produce traction batteries for electric vehicles, electric buses, and electric vessels.

TMH JSC, TVZ, and Central Suburban Passenger Company (CPPK) have launched the 100th Ivolga 4.0 in an exclusive livery.

A black Ivolga has launched on MCD-4.

The matte black body with the bright red letters “MCD” and the shiny number “100” makes the train a true metropolitan art object. Inside, passengers continue to enjoy maximum comfort, complemented by the mint color scheme.

It is an expression of emotion, style, and a symbol of Moscow’s future-defining transport.

“The 100th Ivolga is a special train. Passengers have been eagerly awaiting its arrival, and today it hit the roads. It is a symbol of Moscow transport’s development, a combination of engineering, design, and passenger comfort. By launching the black anniversary Ivolga on MCD-4, Moscow has once again set an example of what modern urban transport should be. “We are developing the MCD on the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin,” said Maksim Liksutov.

The Big Circle Line (BCL) has already seen 1 billion trips since its full launch.

Since its launch, the Big Circle Line (BCL) has become the longest circular metro line in the world and has transformed the commute for residents and visitors alike:

🔹 Dozens of new routes and transfers allow travelers to save up to 45 minutes per day.

🔹 The entire metro has become more accessible. For example, the Circle Line has been reduced by up to 25%.

🔹 Many districts of the capital now have their first metro service.

“The BCL has already made history in global metro construction. The line, built under the leadership of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, has long been one of the most popular metro systems, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year. More than 1.5 million trips are made on a weekday. The line is ready to continue to accommodate new passengers: the BCL has built up capacity for decades to come,” said Maksim Liksutov.

Russia’s first autonomous trams, “Lvyonok-Moskva,” have traveled over 33,000 kilometers.

According to Maksim Liksutov, 20 modern trams operate on the line, capable of operating without overhead wires. Here’s how it works:

🔹 Trams store energy when they come into contact with overhead wires.

🔹 At stops before sections without overhead wires, the driver lowers the pantograph on the roof.

🔹 Along Akademika Sakharova Avenue, the tram operates autonomously, without being connected to overhead wires.

🔹 After completing the autonomous section, the driver raises the pantograph. The tram continues along the route and stores energy again.

“Lvyonok-Moskva” demonstrates reliability and safety. Route 90 is in demand: up to 17,000 trips are made on it daily. Trams make approximately 300 trips daily.

“We continue to develop a modern and environmentally friendly transportation system in the capital, as instructed by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. With the opening of the tram line on Academician Sakharov Avenue, transportation links in the city center have improved. Today, Russia’s first autonomous trams, “Lvyonok-Moscow,” are operating here on route 90. Their energy storage system is proving to be excellent,” said Maksim Liksutov.

Metro Logo in Space.

A Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle carrying the Progress MS-32 transport spacecraft has lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Its hull was decorated with the 90th anniversary logo of the Moscow Metro.

The spacecraft has already successfully docked with the International Space Station. The flight went according to plan and was part of the regular supply program for the station, delivering fuel for refueling, drinking water, fresh food, and “Orlan” spacesuits for spacewalks.

For the first time ever, the symbol of Moscow’s transport system was presented in space, making this a truly unique event. The collaboration between Moscow’s transport system and Roscosmos highlights the importance of developing high-tech industries and their contribution to urban life.

“In honor of the 90th anniversary of the Moscow Metro, the anniversary logo appeared on a Roscosmos rocket for the first time in history. This union of two industries—transport and space—symbolizes progress, technological advancement, and respect for the country’s historical heritage,” said Maksim Liksutov.

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Samotlorneftegaz (a Rosneft subsidiary) has held an ethnic culture festival for indigenous peoples of the North in the Nizhnevartovsk District of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area. Over 500 people from different ethnic groups living and working in the region took part in this large-scale event.

The ethnic festival coincided with the start of ‘little winter’ according to the natural calendar of the Ob Yugrans, representatives of the Khanty and Mansi peoples. At the festival’s interactive venues, the indigenous inhabitants of Yugra introduced guests to their culture and centuries-old traditions.

During various masterclasses in national decorative arts and crafts, festival guests learned how to make amulets and decorations from natural materials, as well as the fundamentals of acrylic painting on canvas. Those interested in active leisure took part in sports competitions of the indigenous peoples of the North, such as jumping over sleds, archery, and tug-of-war on a deer skin.

The festive atmosphere was enhanced by performances from folklore groups. There was also a themed photo zone where people could have their picture taken with a sled pulled by northern sled dogs. The event concluded with a concert featuring the best performances by participants in the Energy of Talents corporate festival.

One of the most important areas of Rosneft’s social policy is preserving the national culture and traditional way of life of indigenous peoples in the North. The Company’s subsidiaries implement numerous projects to support indigenous peoples in the regions of operation. These projects aim to develop the infrastructure of northern settlements and improve the resources of educational institutions and social facilities in areas where indigenous peoples live.

As part of Rosneft’s agreement with the regional government, Samotlorneftegaz has been implementing projects to improve the quality of life of indigenous peoples of the North. Since 2020, the enterprise has supported a unique programme equipping national herds with modern information and communication technologies. It also sponsors the annual reindeer herders’ skills competition and Crow’s Day (Vorna Khatl), the national spring festival in Yugra.

For reference:

Samotlorneftegaz is one of Rosneft’s most important production facilities in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area—Yugra. It is responsible for developing Russia’s largest Samotlor field. The total area of its licence areas is approximately 3,000 square kilometres.

Rosneft Opens Educational Centres to Train Personnel for the Oil Industry

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

With the support of RN-Vankor (part of Rosneft’s oil and gas production complex), a fuel and energy education and production centre has opened in Krasnoyarsk. The centre will train workers for the region’s oil and gas industry, as well as for the Vostok Oil project which is being implemented in Taimyr.

The centre has been opened as part of the federal Professionality project at the Krasnoyarsk Technical College of Welding Technologies and Energy and will train specialists in the fields of Energy Supply and Petrochemistry. The technical college has created fifteen workshops and laboratories for the new professional competencies, meeting the modern requirements of the project’s partner enterprises.

The Fuel and Energy Cluster (FEC) comprises four other vocational education institutions in the region: the polytechnic and technical colleges in Kansk; the Krasnoyarsk Assembly College; and the Taimyr College in Dudinka.

This academic year, 275 students have begun studying on the updated educational programmes offered by the Fuel and Energy Cluster. They will qualify as electricians, electrical technicians, electrical fitters, chemical compound quality control technicians, chemical analysis laboratory assistants, welders, chemical engineers and maintenance technicians specialising in control and measuring instruments and automation equipment.

In addition, since September, drivers of specialised vehicles working in the Far North have undergone training at the Transport–Logistics educational and industrial cluster. Opened by TBS-Logistics (the transport and logistics operator of the Vostok Oil project), it is based at the Krasnoyarsk Transport and Service Technical College. The cluster also includes three network technical colleges of the town of Kansk, the Yemelyanovo settlement and the Irsh settlement in the Rybinsk District.

Three hundred and fifty students have begun studying car maintenance and repair, equipment operation in extreme conditions and warehouse logistics. Six modern sites have been created for various types of work, and computer simulators and demonstration stands have been installed to show how units and assemblies work. The school has its own fleet of trucks, truck cranes and lifts to reinforce theoretical learning. This enables students to focus more on developing practical skills that will be in demand when working at oil facilities.

Last year, RN-Vankor and TBS-Logistics joined the federal Professionality project as supporting enterprises, signing an agreement with the Krasnoyarsk Territory Ministry of Education to comprehensively modernise the training system for young personnel, in order to meet the growing needs of the region’s oil and gas industry. The Vostok Oil project alone is expected to create 130,000 jobs.

Other subsidiaries of the Company operating in the Krasnoyarsk Territory have also joined the Professionality programme, including Vostsibneftegaz, Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz, the East Siberian branch of RN-Burenie, TaimyrBurService, Achinsk Oil Refinery, the Krasnoyarsk branch of RN-Service, and Sibintek.

Rosneft has allocated significant financial resources to the Professionality programme’s basic technical colleges for the renovation of premises, the creation of material resources, and the modernisation of educational spaces.

In addition to the federal project, the Krasnoyarsk Territory is implementing a regional project called ‘Professionality for All’, which involves the Demyanenko Achinsk Oil and Gas Technical College and the Krasnoyarsk Assembly College forming an oil and gas educational and industrial cluster.

The aim of creating educational and production centres is to provide young people with comprehensive, high-quality training that meets the real needs of oil and gas companies in the region looking to attract skilled workers.

For reference:

A comprehensive programme for recruiting personnel and supporting vocational and higher education institutions has been implemented in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for several years, with the aim of providing Rosneft enterprises with qualified personnel. Twelve educational institutions in the region, including the Siberian Federal University, are key partners in the project. More than 30 specialised training programmes have been developed in secondary vocational education institutions to meet the needs of the region’s oil industry.

The Federal Professionality Project is being implemented through close cooperation between vocational education institutions and industry enterprises. Educational and production clusters are being established based on colleges and technical schools. These clusters represent an association of vocational education institutions and enterprises in the real economy that are interested in providing high-quality training for workers in in-demand specialities.
