The 'Sputnik' Electric Train for the New Transport System on the Moscow-Mytishchi Line

摘要

In the summer of 2002, the Ministry of Railway Transport, the Moscow Railway, the "East Line" group and the "New Transport Technologies "financial-industrial association (FIA "NTT") undertook a project for a high-speed intermodal transport system on the Moscow -Domodedovo Airport corridor, using an electric train of the new EM2I series built by FIA "NTT". This association is currently working on creating the "Sputnik" electric train for the transport system on the Moscow-Mytishchi route. The first electric train was produced in August 2003 and made available for test runs on the Shesherbinka test circuit near Moscow; six "Sputnik" type electric trains in all are scheduled for delivery for this line.
