Tests The new TEM33 shunting diesel locomotive with a double diesel engine unit manufac- tured by Bryansk Machine Building Plant (BMZ, a member of Transmashholding) successfully completes its 300-hour test in service. TEM33 diesel locomotive During its tests at Bryansk-II Depot, TEM33 demonstrated its significant advantages over the serial diesel locomotives operated by the same successfully tested depot. It is equivalent to two ChME3 shunting diesel locomotives and can deliver cargos weighing from 5,000 to 6,900 tons to a hump yard. TEM33 consumes 10% less fuel than the locomotives operated by Bryansk-II Depot. Environmental friendliness is another advantage of the new locomotive; its operation will allow reducing air pollutant emissions to 20%. According to drivers, TEM33 differs from its predecessors in its enhanced control comfort, noise isolation, diesel locomotive safety, and amenities. In late 2014, the locomotive will undergo further acceptance and certification tests at the test center. 2 № 4 12/2014 Production Implementation BMZ Creates Tver Carriage Works (TVZ, aDouble-Deck member of Transmashholding) Car Undergoing Tests delivers an experimental dou- Bryansk Machine Building Plant ble-deck car with soft seats to Another(BMZ) manufactures Hopper a prototype the Belorechensk test site (North of a hopper with a large-size Caucasian Railway) for dynamic body (19-3058 model) for tests. transportation of grain and other The 61–4492 model car is a new bulk food cargos requiring product of TVZ, which continues the protection against precipitations. lineup of domestic double-deck The new car will carry up to 118 m 3 rolling stock.

What are the holding’s current goals and –Vobjectives and what is their time frame? — Recently, our consumers, primarily the largest companies, such as RZD JSC and Moscow Metro, have adopted new policies in their relationship with suppliers. They expect from us ongoing maintenance of technical equipment throughout its lifecycle. After a new machine (diesel locomotive, electric locomotive or diesel) is manufactured, it has to be operated with a certain average availability ratio until the end of its service life; the customer is willing to pay for that accordingly.
