Unexpectedly

Export is important for industrial enterprises due to several reasons. First of all, it brings extra profit. Secondly, it is an opportunity to diversify production and sales channels. In addition, it is a perfect strength test. Working in isolation from the rest of the world is not as challenging as facing global competition. Only market will tell real strength from inflated self-esteem.

Welcome to the hybrid future!

Transmashholding (TMH) is developing a new range of hybrid shunting locomotives. The first concept was presented by the manufacturer at the International Railway Fair PRO//Motion.Expo in Scherbinka. Mr. Mikhail Rozhkov, Engineering Director of Transmashholding, and Mr. Igor Seleznev, Deputy CEO of Ctrl2GO Group, share the details on the innovative locomotives by TMH.

KIRILL LIPA:
«Digitalization is about creativity»

Transmashholding has started a digital transformation of its enterprises.
In terms of scale, the project is to be the largest in the Russian engineering in dustry.
Kirill Lipa, Director General of Transmashholding, has shared with us his perspective on the main purpose of the transformations, the ways the "digit" will change domestic producti on and the requir ements digital technology will set for personnel.

DENIS KASIMOV:
«Digitization for efficiency —
that's what we need»

LoCoTech Group of Companies is collaborating with Clover Group to implement an ambitious program for the introduction of predictive analysis of a locomotive's condition. Its implementation will change the ideology of locomotive fleet maintenance in Russia. Denis Kasimov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Clover Group, speaks of the new view on information.

ALEXEY BELINSKY:

ANDREY ROMANCHIKOV:
«Locomotive and infrastructure must begin to intercommunicate»

The main task of any control system in the railway sector is to ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the infrastructure and to provide safety. Amid an increase in traffic, however, the potential of existing systems is exhausted. We asked Andrey Romanchikov, Director General of LocoTech-Signal, why it is not always necessary to build new tracks to improve the efficiency of transportation and what role digital technologies can play in fulfilling the task.

Less steam

The Soviet Union went down in the history of the global railway transport as the first country that built a mainline diesel locomotive 95 years ago and formed the basis for diesel locomotive engineering. The sector, however, suffered from the bureaucracy. The test facility near Moscow was closed in the early 1930s, diesel locomotives were sent to the Central Asia. The interest to this type of motive power rose again at Stalin's behest after the end of World War II, and in the middle of the 1950s Nikita Khrushchev voluntary put such locomotives into operation on Soviet railways.
