Stations on the route
The first HSR line Moscow – Saint Petersburg will have 14 stopping points.
First HSR line Moscow – Saint Petersburg
We deliver the core technical solutions for the first HSR line Moscow – Saint Petersburg: rolling stock, catenary, and rail fastening.
- 679km of line
Line length
New track on a concrete subgrade in sections in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
- 2028year
Train readiness
A total of 43 high-speed electric trains will be delivered in 2030.
Russia’s train of the future
The high-speed electric train is manufactured at the Ural Locomotives plant. The engineering solutions developed by ECRT match world-class benchmarks and, for several subsystems, exceed them. Planned launch year is 2028.
Main projects
Russia’s first domestic high-speed electric train
Development of rolling stock for the first HSR line Moscow – Saint Petersburg. ECRT prepares the specification and conceptual, technical, and detailed design documentation; manufacturing takes place at the Ural Locomotives plant (part of the Sinara Transport Machines group).
