The 'Ural Locomotives' plant completed the fitting trial of the front and nose fairings for a high-speed train on the Moscow–St. Petersburg High-Speed Rail (VSM) line, marking progress in preparation for testing and future operation.
Consensus
- The 'Ural Locomotives' plant completed the fitting trial of key components—the head and nose fairings—for a high-speed train on the Moscow–St. Petersburg VSM line.
- The head and nose fairings were manufactured at a partner facility in Chelyabinsk.
- Both fairings were painted to match the design of the VSM train composition.
- The trial was conducted to verify geometric parameters, accuracy of jointing with the car body, and functionality of moving parts.
- The high-speed train is designed to operate at up to 400 km/h.
Points of divergence
- The head module is a fiberglass shell with metal inserts and ensures cab hermeticity during operation at speeds up to 400 km/h. — kommersant
- The nose fairing includes static and movable frames, drive mechanisms, and decorative panels; it protects the coupler from snow, ice, dirt, and dust. — vesti
