Ural Locomotives complete reception of new two-system electric train "Finist"
In a gathering attended by heads of various RZD divisions, research institutions, and parts suppliers, the United Research Council of Ural State University of Railway Transport (UrGUPS) finally made their debut. The council, responsible for innovative solutions in rail engineering, began operations at UrGUPS back in April of this year.
Members of the acceptance commission scrutinized construction and engineering documents, test results, and even inspected the ES105 train that had returned to the factory after being tested.
The acceptance tests for the two-system electric train "Finist," which commenced in November 2024 and continued until April 2025, have now been completed. Simultaneously, research and development work on the project also reached conclusion. Two five-car ES105 trains underwent testing, allowing for evaluation of their performance during tandem operations on shared testing grounds.
Vitaly Breskon, Chair of the commission and first deputy general director for technical policy at Ural Locomotives:
The acceptance commission confirmed that the "Finest" train complies with all technical requirements set out in the specifications, granting it the letter O1 and establishing a production series of 60 electric trains. The factory is set to receive certification for the new two-system train by July.
As for the current status of the Finest train, the search results provided in this context do not yield any definitive information. To stay updated on the latest developments regarding the Finest train, it's recommended to follow reliable sources for railway industry news or official announcements from relevant transportation authorities.
The recently-completed acceptance tests for the "Finest" train, a two-system electric train, have not only marked the conclusion of research and development work but also confirmed its compliance with technical requirements. To keep updated on potential news about the production series of 60 electric trains, one may follow reliable sources for railway industry news or official announcements from transportation authorities.
While the "Finest" train's current status is not explicitly clear, advancements in rail engineering, such as those researched by the United Research Council of Ural State University of Railway Transport, may have implications for the finance and technology sectors within the transportation industry.
