Pavel S. TROITSKIY ABSTRACT The practical part considers the The article studies direct and external advantages of introduction of freight electric effects produced by the development of multiple-unit trains (FEMUT), identifying the railway infrastructure facilities. Examples main groups of cargo owners, for whom this of intersectoral cooperation in the transport type of rolling stock is intended. The results sector in Russian and international of calculations show possible reduction in practices confirm that development of running time and in specific consumption of intersectoral production and transport electric power when introducing FEMUT. The interaction of business entities allows to calculated costs of self-propelled (motor) radically accelerate scientific and and trailer wagons of FEMUT are followed by ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL ADMINISTRATION, technological progress in the railway the results of economic calculations of NPV industry, namely, to develop and introduce of life cycle operation of FEMUT in comparison new models of railway rolling stock, new with a train with locomotive traction. To transportation technology, considering achieve the stated objectives of the research, also regional features of the transportation the work uses methods and tools of technical market. comparison and of financial planning. Keywords: railway transport, transport and industry partnership, multiple-unit freight trains, distributed traction, accelerated freight transportation, energy efficiency. *Information about the author: Troitskiy, Pavel S. – Ph.D. student at the Department of Electric Traction of Emperor Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University, St. Petersburg, Russia, [email protected].

Introduction of the Latest Railway Technology based on Intersectoral Cooperation on development of transport infrastructure should cooperation comprising: passenger intermodal 196 be made by comparing public costs and results, railway and bus transportation of the Czech which will take place in transport sector (direct companies Leo Express and RegioJet with their effects) and in non‑transport sectors of the own locomotive, car and motor‑car fleet; freight national economy (external effects) in case of transportation of contrailers by Mercitalia electric implementation of these measures with the costs multiple‑unit trains in Italy; intermodal rail, bus and results, which will take place in case of failure and ferry services of the Japanese company West of their implementation .

The rolling stock of can be measured in monetary terms and their these multi‑ industry holding companies was impact on the country’s total GDP can be purchased and designed directly for the needs of assessed . Of course, the state is the main the company’s production units and specific stakeholder and beneficiary of investments in customers of transportation services . construction, modernization, and maintenance The creation of transport and production of transport facilities . However, to obtain direct associations, participation in railway transport transport effects under the conditions of business of organizations and industries that are saturation of the transport services market, vitally interested in stable operation of transport, modern methods and forms of management ensuring a well‑coordinated transportation should be applied by non‑state business entities . schedule for their own needs allow to ensure As an example of this approach, we can cite the introduction of advanced, science‑ intensive project for development of the tourist cluster railway technics, equipment and technologies at «Sortavala–Ruskeala–Valaam» in the vicinity an accelerated pace . of low loaded West Karelian railway .In December 2018, the High‑ Speed Transportation Freight electric multiple-unit trains as the Directorate of JSC Russian Railways (DOSS) object of cooperation launched two pairs of high‑speed trains Scientific research concerned traction and «Lastochka» on the route St .
