The trains are being delivered fully assembled to St. Petersburg between February 2012 and June 2013. It takes approximately 21 days and multiple crane transfers to transport the cars the some 2,700 kilometers to their destination.
Siemens AG has sold 38 five-car Desiro RUS local trains to Russian Railways RZD. The trains, called “Lastochka” (“swallow”) in Russian, are being produced at Siemens’s Krefeld plant. They will also be used during the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sotchi.
Siemens contracted the Global Projects Department of Schenker Deutschland AG’s Düsseldorf office to transport the trains from Rheinhafen Krefeld to the TCh 10 depot Metallostroy in Russia. The first train was loaded at the Port of Krefeld on February 16. The contract presents a challenge for the specialists at Schenker since these are the first transports along this route. Equipment developed and built specifically for this project is being used for part of the process.
The cars are up to 26 meters long, are 3.50 meters wide and have a height above rail level of 485 cm. They weigh up to just under 60 metric tons. The dimensions and gauges (1520 mm) of the trains make it impossible to transport them by rail or truck alone.
The transport route
In the first stage, the trains are transported by truck from the Krefeld plant to Rheinhafen Krefeld, where Siemens has contracted a company that specializes in heavy loads.
At the Port of Krefeld, the cars are rolled onto “rail pallets,” which DB Schenker manufactured specifically for this contract. The cars remain on the pallets for part of the journey and while they are hoisted during transshipment by crane. Five single cars (one train) at a time are then transported by inland vessel from Krefeld to Amsterdam via the Rhine. The cars are then loaded onto an ocean-going vessel in Amsterdam and shipped to Sassnitz.
There at Sassnitz Sea Terminal, the cars are unloaded onto the pier, where they are rolled via a ramp from the rail pallets onto a special truck with integrated 1520-mm rails. The cars are then transported by truck to RTS Rail Terminal Sassnitz-Mukran, the only rail ferry port in Germany with broad gauge rails. The train is then re-formed, hauled onto the MS Petersburg broad gauge rail ferry and shipped to Ust-Luga. There the trains are hauled to the depot, rolling on their own wheels.
In terms of technology, the Desiro® RUS for Sochi is based on the reliable Desiro ML vehicle platform. The vehicles have been further developed to meet the needs of the Russian market: they have been designed to withstand temperatures as low as – 40 °C and have been given a car body which is 3,480 wide, a floor 1,400 mm high and a bogie with a track gauge of 1,520 mm.
The Desiro RUS provides a solution for Russian mass transit systems and regional lines. Thanks to the flexibility of the interior partitioning adopted from the Desiro ML, the train is in a position to deal with the special demands which will be placed on it during service for the Olympic Games in 2014. When serving Sochi on the Black Sea, the trains must be able to handle gradients of 4% to reach the Winter Olympics venues up in the mountains.
Technology and aesthetics
The new Desiro RUS trainsets are characterized by their modern and attractive design and uniform architecture.
Modern technology and sheer elegance are combined with technological aesthetics. With its all-round visibility and light colors, the interior design offers comfortable surroundings for passengers, personnel and especially for persons with restricted mobility.
The efficient and reliable heating and ventilation system ensures pleasant ambient conditions and allows fast
temperature control. A modern passenger information system provides useful information in Russian and other
languages whenever it is required.
The trains have multifunctional areas with sufficient space for 4 wheelchairs as well as two modern, disabled-friendly
restrooms and space for bulky baggage. A ramp ensures trouble-free boarding.
The Russian BLOK train control system has been integrated into the train’s own system.
Flexibility
The 2-system design – 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC – means that uninterrupted journeys are possible on routes with mixed power systems (e.g. Adler – Alpika service). The interior has been designed with flexibility in mind. The capacity can be increased thanks to the train’s double-running capability.
Thanks to this high level of flexibility, the Desiro RUS can be adapted to make it ideal for airport services for the 2014 Olympics.
Safety
The car bodies are made of extruded aluminum profiles and feature air sus-pension, giving a high level of comfort at any speed. Energy absorbing and crash elements protect passengers and personnel in the unlikely event of an unforeseen incident.
Energy efficiency
The lightweight construction of the car bodies helps reduce power consumption. This effect is also supported by an autopilot system as well as by an intelligent vehicle and traction control system, which feeds braking energy from the regenerative braking system back into the power grid.
High performance
2,550 kW of traction power are sufficient to ensure fast acceleration. The bogies with a track gauge of 1,520 mm were developed especially for the Russian market and originate from the proven SF 6000 family. They have a second air spring for added passenger comfort.
