Many mechanical units of Donchak are standard - ized with AC locomotive Ermak 2ES5K. A distinctive feature of 3ES4K versus the two-section model is a two-section booster (intermediate) unit that increases its power 1.5-fold and its hauling ability up to 6,000 tonnes. Employment of locomotives will allow for heavier train loads and higher delivery speeds along with lower car turnover and rolling stock maintenance costs. Benefits of the new locomotive versus 2ES4K include motor axial roller bearings for increased mileage between scheduled maintenance and a pass-through between sections for easier shunting operations and maintenance. The certificate is effective through July 2017. ЗES4K commercial production will be launched in 2015. 2 № 3 09/2014 Modernization Designers and engineers of Penzadie- nents in the Russian Federation”.

The passenger com- partment meets all modern sanitary, ergonomic and safety standards and is equipped with an HVAC system and an eco-friendly lavatory that can be used along the entire route, including in sanitary protection zones. The car is fitted with 2- and 6-seat couches with tables between them and has a kitchenette with a serving table, wash sink, dish dryer, cabinets, refrigerator, microwave oven, and electric kettle. The new special-purpose EMU is designed on a standard ED EMU basis and incorporates proven solutions, standardized underframe and car body equipment for lower operating and maintenance costs. 3 Introduction Reliable electronic equipment is vital for safe and efficient operation of rolling stock. Therefore, Transmashholding seeks to develop and expand its R&D units. One of them is Locomotive Electronic Systems (LES), a producer of electronic train control systems. This September, LES celebrates its 10th Hitting anniversary. the target 4 № 3 09/2014 Data processing server Telemetry database Service center engineer Warranty service engineer work station work station SSL/TLS SSL/TLS SSL/TLS GLONASS Internet GSM/GPRS SSL/TLS Locomotive en route Figure 1.
