Production has started in the Novgorod region with an annual production capacity of approximately 100,000 panels. It was also noted that the matter was apparently not limited to Moscow-St. Petersburg Airport. St. Petersburg High-speed Railway: In the future, Russia will deploy a complete high-speed rail network, and the experience accumulated by enterprises will be very popular.
The main advantage of an open factory is the direct automation of production, which enables consistency and the production of slabs with minimal tolerances. According to a representative of the company, rail plates weighing several tons are produced with a tolerance of no more than half a millimeter.
We remind you about the Moscow-St. Petersburg test traffic. The St. Petersburg high-speed railway is planned to open at the end of 2027 and will be fully converted to freight and passenger transportation in the spring of 2028. Of course, that’s if everything goes according to plan, but there’s no guarantee of that yet.
