From July 7th to 10th, Transmashholding (TMH), a Russian rail giant, launched Russia's first high - speed tram named Voevoda (model 71 - 952) at the InnoProm - 2025 International Industrial Exhibition held in Yekaterinburg. Mass production is planned to start in 2026.
Key officials such as Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Karankevich, Kazakhstan's First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar, Uzbekistan's Deputy Prime Minister Jamshid Khojaev, and Gor Balseghyan, a member of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission for Industry and Agro - Industrial Complex, got to know this cutting - edge tram in person. The Russian Prime Minister commented: “This five - section tram, independently developed by a professional company, is spacious and comfortable, a great example of innovation. It won't be long before this Russian high - speed tram becomes a common sight on the streets of our cities.”
As Russia's first five - section full - low - floor high - speed tram, Voevoda pioneers a dual - side passage and dual cabs. It is 37.5 meters long and can carry a maximum of 400 passengers (including 72 seats). It can also be upgraded to a seven - section configuration, expanding the total capacity to 500 passengers. It integrates the capacity of subways with the flexibility of trams and intelligent operation systems. Thanks to the use of four bogies (two of which are rotating), it breaks the record in Russian light rail projects for the first time, easily handling narrow curves with a radius of 16 meters and being suitable for routes without turning loops.
