Demikhovo Engineering Plant (DMZ), part of Transmashholding, has concluded a contract for the delivery of 22 electric multiple units for RZD.
The shipment of the first batch of the new EMUs to RZD is scheduled for February 2018. This year, RZD’s fleet will be expanded by four-car EP3D EMUs. The EMUs will be operated on North Caucasus (Rostov depot) and Privolzhskaya (Volgograd depot) railways.
EP3D is a new electric multiple unit manufactured by DMZ for suburban service. The train meets all the requirements for passenger transportation safety defined in the Customs Union Technical Regulation of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.
The EMU is characterized by a modern car exterior (smooth body, new front end). It is equipped with passive safety systems (crash system), microclimate system with air disinfection function, information support and ecologically friendly toilet facilities. The energy-saving set used in the design makes it possible to economically spend electricity. The EP3D is unified with EP2D DC electric multiple unit in terms of the main assemblies and systems.
