TransMashHolding (TMH) and Tver Carriage Works (TVZ) are moving forward quickly. Recently just a mock-up displayed in Moscow, new generation of Ivolga train has taken shape.
At PRO//motion.expo 2021 (formerly EXPO 1520), first Ivolga 3.0 cab car has been unveiled. While not significantly different from Ivolga 2.0 (EG2Tv) on the outside, this new train will be capable of 160 km/h and will feature multiple internal improvements. The train will receive new designation EGE2Tv, where the second "E" stands for Express.
First and second generations of Ivolga EMU are widely used on Moscow Central Diameters, urban rail projects operating since 2019. Trains are named after oriole bird (Russian "ivolga"), following a tradition to name trains after birds in Russia (Sapsan / Peregrine Falcon, Strizh / Swift, Lastochka / Swallow, etc.).
Nice! Would you suppose that the nose section under the windshield might be removable or self-storing in the event that coupling to another train might be done?
