The Russian Ministry of transport is updating the public transport fleet in the regions. Our country is among the top three World Leaders in terms of the pace of development in this area. Thanks to federal support , russian cities are receiving new buses, electric buses, trams and trolleybuses. You have entered a new stage of development and are producing. Technology. About the largescale modernization of public transport, see the special report by alena logvinova. The public transport fleet in russia continues to be updated. Regions have Colossal Development potential. One of the most obvious. Points of growth in increasing the mobility of citizens. Well tell you right now how the system is being modernized throughout the country. Single ticket. Go every year , buses, electric buses and trams transport more than 10 billion people in russia. The most popular type of public transport is buses. Lets start with him. More than 135. 00 buses transport russians. Among the tasks facing the government and regions is ensuring the possibility of convenient and Comfortable Movement of passengers modern transport. For example, the volgograd region purchased 136 volgabas 5270 g4 buses. They are lowfloor with an automatic transmission, adapted for people with limited mobility, and are equipped with Video Surveillance, air conditioning and Heating Systems. For the convenience of passengers , cashless payment terminals are installed in the cabin. By the end of 2023, the company produced 1,200 buses of various classes; the volgabase Group Enterprises try to make maximum use of products from domestic manufacturers. Currently the share russian components exceed 60 . Liaz is one of the largest enterprises. In theory, to implement in practice, because i always wanted innovative ideas that were decided to return to my hometown and work on liaz, the priorities when developing buses are always high passenger capacity, low cost of operation, ease of maintenance, while the driver should be. Comfortable. In likino duleva, all transport from ido is produced by conveyor method. An important feature is cataphoretic priming of the body, which is extremely rarely found on large buses around the world. This is necessary to protect parts from corrosion. Serial production of the city max12 will begin here soon. A large class bus can accommodate 114 people. There is an increased width of doorways and aisles between the seats, which means it is easier for people to get in and out. There is one in the salon. Air conditioning, multimedia screens and wifi routers. This is a completely new car, it is made using all modern technologies that are currently available in our country, with diesel and. Versions a completely new yams 537 engine will be used there; this is an engine of increased volume and power, which will improve the consumer quality of the machine. The likensky bus plant takes part in the implementation of key federal projects, including helping regions resolve Environmental Issues by converting bus fleets to gas engine fuel or launching electric bus routes. On march 31 of the previous year, a special Program Began operating in russia. Tsarist loans, regions can receive loans for Infrastructure Projects for up to 15 years at 3 per annum, while the principal debt is paid only from the third year of using the funds, for example, thanks to this program, more than 800 lias buses will arrive in cities. Another addition to the family of urban vehicles, city max 9, is a middleclass bus; it is assembled in the city of pavlovo, Nizhny Novgorod region. The level of component localization exceeds 90 . Thanks to the use of innovative materials, the noise level is significantly reduced. The new exterior provides complete absence of blind spots for the driver. Spacious, comfortable interior, low floor area 10 km2, the largest in its class, no steps at the entrance, which usually get in the way. Enlarged doorways, all this makes it easier to speed up boarding and disembarking at stops. Very good ergonomics. A huge number of different niches, drawers for personal belongings of drivers, very good adjustment of the steering column, large ranges, well, in general, the comfort of the workplace is at its best. Such buses already operate in kologa, tula nalchik. Pavlovsk bus plant is a leader in the supply of middleclass vehicles to the regions under the special treasury loan program. Almost 3,000 units of equipment were purchased throughout the country. In recent years , small class buses have also been in demand in the regions, especially in small towns and rural settlements. One of the models is produced by the gorky automobile plant. City bus gazelle city. The main advantage is the low floor level, which makes boarding, for example, passengers with strollers easier. At the same time, such transport remains compact and maneuverable, which is extremely important in a metropolis. This minibus is equipped with a spacious double door, a folding ramp, space for. A wheelchair, and is indispensable for working on routes with low passenger traffic on narrow streets, where it is more difficult for largeclass transport to operate. How are the cars different . Firstly, they are all assembled under Assembly Line conditions, which means this is a high level of quality. Secondly, we develop all cars ourselves in our engineering center, taking into account the requirements consumers, and in this case we have two consumers the road carrier and passengers. The gorky automobile plant also participates in the program. Treasury loans. It is extremely important that it applies not only to large cities, but to medium and small settlements, where there is a great need for modern and highquality buses. Last year we produced about a thousand of these cars under this program. All the cars that we produced as part of this program correspond to the climatic conditions where they will be these vehicles are operated. As part of the enterprise. In northern conditions , shift buses are used, these unpretentious and hardy vehicles are not afraid of offroad conditions, extremely low temperatures and long route lengths, for example, in the magadan region , shift buses of the kamas brand are used; at the beginning of 2024, the bus fleet of kolyma carriers was replenished with three new vehicles that will be used for intermunicipal transportation, in the krasnoyarsk territory passengers will be transported by a bus on ural chassis base. Along with updating Passenger Transport, it is important to make the profession of a driver more popular. For the past decade, the ministry of transport of russia, with the participation of rosavtotrans, has been holding an allrussian driver skills competition, including the best bus driver. The next competition was last year. Over the course of 3 days, 55 participants from 35 cities competed for first place. The most unpredictable module was the comfortable driving module. To carry it out , a glass was placed inside the bus. With water, most a comfortable driver was determined by the amount of liquid that did not spill. In the competitive procedure, knowledge , so to speak, of the technical part of buses was assessed respectively , driving skills, that is, this is the passage of some kind of obstacles, this is the smoothness of the ride, stopping, stopping in the right place, so to speak, not dropping the passenger inside, in the competition Alexandra Belova from cherepovets took part, she has been working at the municipal unitary enterprise avtokolonna 1456 for 6 years, she first got behind the wheel in 2011, and now drives mas103 can independently repair its transport. Remedy and give any mechanic a head start. The park enterprise where alexandra works also purchases new cars. Motorcade 1456 has already received 67 new gas traps. Plus 34 nifas lowfloor buses running on gas engine fuel are expected in the near future. Russia has huge potential for updating its bus fleet. Lets move on. Electric buses are the transport of the future. Their development has. Advantages, in addition to the obvious benefits for the environment, is the improvement of transport networks, job creation and technological progress. For several years now, moscow has been setting the trend for a new type of public transport electric buses. Russian regions are beginning to learn from experience. The largest manufacturer of this type of transport in russia is kamaz. He assembles cars at two sites in neftekamsk and moscow. In the capital, at the svars plant, it is the sokolniki carrepair and construction plant. Electric bus kamas. 5282 is designed for 80 passengers, operates almost silently and has minimal harm to the environment. First such an electric bus appeared in moscow in 2018. Empty bodies come from neftekamsk to moscow, here battery modules, a current collector are installed on them and the interior is fully equipped. Workers install seats, glass railings, Video Surveillance systems, handrails, and external and internal lighting fixtures. The salon is heated entirely by electricity. This made it possible to make the electric bus an environmentally friendly mode of transport not only during production, but also during operation. The power reserve is increased here, about up to 100 km, uh, the climate system here is completely modernized, it is completely electric, that is, an inverter is installed in the cabin, the lighting is also such a small plush, such an adaptive light, it is so warm and gentle until lunchtime, and after. Apparently it switches to cold. Today moscow is the number one city in europe in terms of the number of electric buses; last year they began testing another type of transport in the capital. A modified version of the already familiar city gazelle from the gorky automobile plant. The customer was mosgortrans. The First Electric minibus, the gazelle e city, is designed for 12 passengers. On one charge it can travel approximately 150 km. Such minielectric buses are already running around moscow. There are already about 120 city routes in moscow on which electric buses operate. In 2023 , over 135 million trips were made on them. By 2030, the capitals fleet will consist of 5,300 such vehicles. Other regions are adopting the trend of introducing green buses. For example, by the end of the year, st. Petersburg will purchase about 100 electric buses. Ecologically clean transport can already be seen in the krasnoyarsk territory, yaroslavl, kursk, and Nizhny Novgorod. This is how the fleet of electric buses in russia is gradually being renewed, and we are switching to another type of public transport. The development of electric transport, especially trams, is one of the effective methods of reducing the negative impact on the environment. The mini tram began production in 2022 in the city of vorsma. This is a joint project between russia and belarus. More than 90 of components are produced. In these countries. Nizhny novgorod is one of the founders tram traffic in the country. In terms of the length of lines, the capital of the volga Federal District is among the top five cities in russia. Nizhekotrans is a russianbelarusian enterprise producing electric transport. This is where minin trams are produced. The name is an abbreviation of two cities. Minsk, Nizhny Novgorod. It all starts with the frame. The frame is transferred to the assembly, then packaging occurs, Electrical Equipment is installed , the final interior finishing is completed, and the final stage is the installation of the car on a bogie, its testing, running in, at the entrance of which we check its technical characteristics and then transfer it to the customer. The cars use antivibration cushion technology. The service life is designed for 30 years, especially for the region trams produced. With a unique characteristic feature that continues the line of Nizhny Novgorod industrial design. All of them are equipped with headlights developed by the gas automobile plant. The production employs more than 170 employees. In total, nizhikatrans will supply 170 cars for Nizhny Novgorod, and at the same time, work is underway to modernize the tram network the city plans to replace almost 150 km of tracks and repair three tram depots. Daria nikolina works in one of them; she was a lawyer, but decided to change her occupation. I have been working as a tram driver for 8 years now, for the ninth year, when i was sitting at home with a small child, when he was born to me, i live not far from the depot, i thought. Why dont i try my hand at this here, well i went and studied. Daria says there are many lawyers, but no tram drivers, now she drives new cars. Daria was the first to go on the line at tram minin in 2023. The compositions are very different from the previous ones, much simpler, and even more comfortable. Incredible, of course, sensations, because the carriage is completely different, but new, warm, comfortable, convenient, in principle, to drive. Quite simple, for the first 23 weeks it seems to me, well, we walked around the car plant, i have the twentysecond route, which is the one i worked on, at every stop, not just at the stop, from all the cars, there were phones, cameras, i was constantly being filmed, i thought everyone had me automobile plant, probably in the phone, in march in kursk, traffic was launched on a new route number one, the kursk Bearing Company bakery, on the line trams and lion cub are running pc production transport systems. This is a modern, energyefficient, environmentally friendly and elegant city car of the new generation. The first passengers were a mother and daughter. Sofia turned 2 years old on march 1st. They decided to name one of the new trams after the girl. Before the launch of the route, drivers specially went to st. Petersburg to pass education. Elena khamayka has been in the profession for more than 25 years; she was one of the first in kursk to sit behind the control panel of a lion cub. We have. If there were theoretical practical training, there would be more comfort for both the driver and passengers, our passengers have been waiting for our such transport for a long time, i think that our city of kursk has also long deserved such transport. In addition to trams , new electric buses run along the streets of kursk; they arrived in the regional capital in december, thanks to the National Project for safe, highquality roads, the city autopack. Was replenished with 10 camas 6282 electric buses. Since 2020 , the Russian Ministry of transport has launched systemic measures to support regions to update the public transport fleet. Electric transport has also been modernized since last year. Kursk is one of the first regions included in the new program. Its financing is carried out at the expense of federal and regional budgets, loans from the Russian Federation and private investments. The program is being implemented on behalf of the president of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the program is renewal. Namely electrical transport in the regions of the Russian Federation. 10 regions participate in the program, from krasnoyarsk to krasnodar. Now lets go to izhevsk, where for more than 10 years there has been a project for the deep modernization of tatra t3 trams, made in the czech republic. The potential of the carriage itself is quite serious, allowing us to consider a second life for them. The ishgor electrotrans enterprise decided to take advantage of this. The carriage changes beyond recognition. The only thing left in the car is the tram bogies, so they are undergoing extensive repairs, restoration, replacement axles, replacement of many components, but it is being repaired, the body on this trolley is new, made with modern materials, modern approaches, the new modification fully complies with the requirements of modern Rolling Stock, a completely different body is assembled, which is equipped with Electrical Equipment, thus getting. Warm a cozy carriage where you can even recharge your phone or connect to wifi. The level of parts localization exceeds 90 . The cars are equipped with Power Equipment that allows save up to 40 energy. Here , a conductorless operation system is immediately installed, that is, terminals, and the peculiarity of the city of izhevsk is that the terminal is not just a reader, it is also a printing device, and this is our fundamental approach related to the fact that people. Had a paper ticket in hand, the company had already modernized 10 trams for the izhevsk and 17 for the zlatoustchelyabinsk region; if there were orders, ishget could completely remake 20 cars a year. Deep modernization of Rolling Stock one of the Development Paths that allows cities to quickly renew their fleet. The result is a car with a service life of at least 15 years with all modern characteristics, while it is 22 and a half times cheaper than a new one. They decided to remember the past in the northern capital, in st. Petersburg , the davlatov retro tram has been running since december 2023, the exterior of the car is made in the style of. The legendary lm57 tram with a cart, chromeplated headlights, a bumper, rounded corners of window openings and screen doors, this one stella, here is the carriage, and we took all this into account, that is, even arches, doors, silkscreen printing on windows, modern doors, retrofuturism, you can even probably call it for us it was a very interesting task, it is both complex and interesting, that is, we can say that we combined modern. Filling, like in a retro look. Davlatov is a smart tram equipped with the most modern systems with elements of artificial intelligence. The active safety complex is based on russian developments. They include a Driver Monitoring system. The tram will stop if the driver loses concentration or if there are obstacles in the way. The cabin has an interactive window, a white nights screen with navigation and travel information. This installation, by the way. Shows all the sights of our route number six, well, it could also be on route number 3, 40, installation, all historical important objects that are of interest in our city, everyone thanks the fact that finally vasilievsky island received such magnificent equipment, but i i think that these cars will already be dispersed in the near future throughout the city, so only smiles and gratitude. The manufacturer of retro trams of this type in russia is ural transmash, it is located in yekaterinburg, specialists developed trams taking into account the infrastructural features of the northern capital. Basically, all parts are produced in the ural Federal District. In addition , some elements are produced in barnaul and Nizhny Novgorod. The tram bogie, main components and assemblies are made by the ural transmarch specialists themselves. The design includes the ability to pass a radius of 14 m, such trams. Everything was designed for production at the enterprise. A Large Manufacturer of electric transport, the nufimsky tramtrolleybus plant, the basis of its activity, design production , modernization and repair of trams, trolleybuses and electric buses, for example, trolleybuses are assembled here by citizens, they are made in a modern design, everything looks decent, from the interior to the exterior, they are used in the manufacture of cars advanced painting technologies and anticorrosion body treatments, there are no many consumables forming materials. During operation, the pads wear out less, that is, there is correspondingly less waste. The citys trolleybuses provide the ability to operate autonomously with a range of up to 20 km and an estimated interior capacity of up to 102 seats, depending on the configuration. For a serial product, we receive a vehicle body kit from the republic of belarus, which we equip with serial traction engines from pskov, Heating Systems from saratov, that is, in essence. The whole country is supplying parts for our cars, the largest delivery of last year to novosibirs, among other cities bratsk, novokuznetsk, penza, ufakhabarovsk. The plans for this year are to increase the production of lowfloor trolleybuses from 300 to 400 units. The ufa tram and trolleybus plant has existed since 2015 and was created instead of the bashshkir trolleybus plant. At that enterprise, and now at this one, entire dynasties of specialists work. Among them are valery and lily sukharev. They met back in 1982, working in the same team as electricians. Together they raised their daughter aigul, who decided to become a mechanical Assembly Mechanic and also chose this plant for myself. Initially there was an urtp plant, it was on the stepansky turn, then it was renamed the btz bashkir trolleybus plant. Then it eventually closed. And after that it opened. Highquality roads, say, if a largeclass bus costs today, well, about 18 million rubles. Then under this program, it is possible to receive a subsidy of 7. 5 million, which is simply deducted from this cost of the bus; from 2023 , the ministry of transport of russia and the state transport Leasing Company launched an investment project to update the public transport at the expense of the National Welfare fund. The financial conditions are unique, and 7 years of leasing of such a bus at a rate of 6. 8 per annum, this is slightly higher than a preferential mortgage. But , in principle, it is absolutely comparable to it in terms of conditions, and of course today the regions are also very actively involved in this program, it will be the basis for supplies in 2024. In particular, thanks to this program, 361 buses arrived in astrakhan over the past year. Participation in the Russian Ministry of transport programs made it possible to launch transport reform in the city. If a couple of years ago, transportation was carried out by minibuses in a chaotic mode, now the entire Route Network has been transferred to a regulated tariff. With new Rolling Stock. Carriers no longer compete for every passenger, but work according to a clearly structured schedule. The approval of transport planning documents helped change the situation. Work in the regions on planning transport flows and routes , taking into account residential development, Industrial Zones and recreation areas, launched several years before the start of systemic support measures, is the main condition for participation in transport renewal programs. Thanks to the implementation of the National Project, safe and highquality roads are available. Over the past 4 years , more than 5,900 units of public transport Rolling Stock have been delivered to the participating regions. In each city, buses, trolleybuses, trams and electric buses have their own unique visual design. In kursk, for example, Passenger Transport is green, in belgorod blue, in perm red, in Nizhny Novgorod orange. In addition, new vehicles arriving in cities according to the National Project are branded in accordance with its corporate style. The main distinctive one. A sign like this logo safe, highquality roads. In 2024 , work on updating transport will continue. Over 7,400 buses, trolleybuses, electric buses and trams will be delivered to the regions of the country, of which almost 3,000 have already been delivered to the regions. Public transport in our country is becoming increasingly popular. As russian president Vladimir Vladimirovich putin recently said, People Choose him. Both faster and economical, in russia more than 10 billion people are transported annually by buses, trolleybuses, and trams alone; the president of the country has set the task of rhythmically updating equipment and reducing the average age of the public transport fleet throughout russia. An additional 150 billion rubles will be allocated from the federal budget to update public transport in russia. Thanks to this, by 2030 the regions will receive about 40,000 buses, trolleybuses, trams, and electric buses. Largescale projects not only contribute to the renewal of public transport in regions, but also give a powerful impetus to the development of industrial production. As a result, new jobs and the development of related areas, for example, metallurgy, chemical industry, and electronics production. And most importantly, peoples quality of life improves, because travel on public transport becomes more comfortable and safer. In the nineties, our own cinema almost disappeared, today it is a strong industry with billions of dollars in revenue, we wanted to record you in one of the pavilions, but it turned out that everyone was busy, now you need to get up 23 months in advance turn, a very large number of films , tv series are being filmed, so many are being made, a lot is being filmed, why is it important for the country to have its own film production, these are all our absolutely native heroes, we grew up under. It is necessary to remain united and selfconfident so that meet new challenges with dignity. Vladimir putin spoke about this on the eve of the threeday voting in the president ial election. The head of state recorded a video message to russian citizens and called on everyone to come to the polling stations
