Projects of LLC ural locomotives to develop urban railway transport and their role in the socio-economic development of a large city

Abstract

The article is devoted to solving the problem of the transport system of large cities by implementing plans and programs to develop a network of urban electric trains. This solution, on the one hand, is quite consistent with the dynamically developing production of modern, high-speed and comfortable electric trains, and on the other hand, it has a number of significant advantages over alternatives. The study presents the most significant stages of implementing the joint German-Russian project to organize the production of electric trains Lastochka (Swallow) in the Urals, which are now widely used in Russia as an independent type of public transport - the city electric train. The role and importance of developing this type of public transport to solve the socio-economic problems of a large city are emphasized.
