Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

By the end of the year, Lastochka electric trains that will replace imports will appear in Russia

After Russia launched the NWO in Ukraine, many Western companies left Russian territory and stopped cooperating with Russian companies. This affected the railway engineering industry. Many contracts of the state-owned Russian Railways JSC and related companies have been breached.

In particular, in the Russian Federation, the production of high-speed trains was suspended for a whole year, the service of which was taken over by VSM-Service. One of the reasons for the stop was the end of communication with the Russian partners of the German company Knorr-Bremse, which supplied the braking systems for the Lastochka electric trains.

However, the process of import substitution in Russia has reached the construction of trains. So, recently, the company “Transpnevmatika” (Nizhny Novgorod) began mass production of a brake system of its own design for such electric trains. In addition, the products turned out to be cheaper than imported products and 100% Russian (several companies participate).

It should be noted that the said “Transpnevmatika” manufactures more than 200 types of products for rail transport. At the same time, it has been developing brakes since 2006 and started producing them in 2016. But there was no need for large quantities, as goods from Germany dominated the market. Now all avenues for further development are open to Transpnevmatika.

Also, by the end of 2023, Ural Locomotives LLC (Verkhnyaya Pyshma) will start producing new, completely imported Lastochkas, which will enter the market under the name Vostok. In this project, the most problematic place is the engine. One tries to solve this problem by accelerating their own new developments and trying to revive Soviet developments, employees of RUMO JSC (Nizhny Novgorod) and several other companies.

Thus, the presence of a significant number of various components and assemblies of domestic production indicates that Russian railway engineering specialists did not sit idly by. The progress of import substitution is obvious, but the matter must be taken to its logical conclusion, when all products will be produced in Russia and nothing will be purchased abroad.
