On 5 August 2024, VEB.RF and Tver Car Building Plant (a member company of the Transmashholding Group) entered into a loan agreement totalling RUB7.27bn.

Deputy Chairman of VEB.RF Daniil Algulyan: “The project will allow the plant to produce new electric trains using only domestic components. This is an important step toward developing machine building and rail transportation and offering a new level of passenger comfort. The project involves the creation of production capacities for various types of new cars in 2027 and is delivered on the basis of a cluster investment platform.”

The project delivery period is three years with completion by June 2027. Tver Car Building Plant is expected to expand mass production of Ivolga electric trains to comply with the increased passenger traffic given the Moscow government’s plans to extend the Moscow Central Diameters to other regions. The manufacturer will also start mass production of new one-deck T-size carriages with an increased passenger capacity and a higher level of comfort (wider aisles and larger sleeping berths). The plant will also launch production of new double-deck carriages improved in terms of quality and extended service intervals of up to 25,000 km.

The main project outcome includes building up of the entire process chain. The project’s aim is to arrange an abrasive blast cleaning site, to launch a carriage frame processing centre and an automated laser cutting service, to change turn-milling machines and paint spray booths and to install a putty grinding machine, and quality control and logistic equipment.

“The plant has been provided with a low-interest loan for 15 years”, General Director of Tver Car Building Plant and Chairman of Tver Regional Office of Soyuzmash of Russia Artem Ovelyan said. The total project value is RUB9.374m, including lending of RUB7.274m and co-financing for the remaining project costs.
