Following its introduction into service, MVM will undertake the scheduled maintenance on the DMUs for 30 years.
Part of JSC Transmashholding, the company noted that the DP-M train constitutes an entirely new class of rolling stock in Russia’s transport engineering industry.
For the first time in Russia, the power pack is installed in a separate, dedicated traction-module with a pass-through designed and manufactured by Swiss train manufacturer Stadler.
According to MVM, DP-M offers improved passenger safety and comfort, while the traction motors installed in a separate traction module reduce significantly vibration and noise impact in the train saloon.
