OREANDA-NEWS. OJSC “Metrovagonmash” (MVM, Mytischi, the Moscow region) in manufacture of rail buses will concentrate its capacities on production of the most advanced serial models - РА-2.

According to the press-service of Transmashholding, earlier the nomenclature of the rail buses made at MVM included models РА-1 and РА-2 (for a track in width of 1520 mm.), and also model РА-1 for foreign customers - models PA-B (for a track in width of 1435 mm.). All of them have well proved in operation on railways of Russia and the East Europe.

Now the greatest demand falls at РА-2. In 2006, OJSC “Metrovagonmash” made 14 such machines (in two-section execution). The plan for 2007 provides for manufacture of 56 cars. All of them will be sent to OJSC “Russian Railways”.

Rail bus RA-2, depending on requirements of the customer, can consist of two head sections or contain one or two intermediate cars in the structure connected by joists. The enterprise has received certificates on model РА-2 with intermediate cars only in the last year.

In December of the last year - the certificate on РА-2 with the hook-on engineless car 750.050000.400 was received.

Certificates certify that rail buses RA-2 correspond to all norms of safety for the use on railways of Russia.
