The Moscow Metro fleet will be replenished with over 700 Moscow-2026 wagons in 2026-2027. They will carry passengers on the Zamoskvoretskaya and Troitskaya metro lines, and in the future they may switch to others. This was announced by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin in his Telegram channel following the results of the signed agreement with Transmashholding.

The new agreement between the Moscow government and Transmashholding provides for the extension of strategic cooperation until 2030.

The rolling stock will be serviced by a manufacturing company under a life cycle contract for 30 years.

TMH (Transmashholding, TIN 7723199790) is a Russian company with headquarters in Moscow and international divisions in Egypt, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The holding company's structure includes 14 production and assembly sites in Russia and other countries of the world, and its geography covers more than 30 countries.

TMH's profit under IFRS for 2024 increased 2.67 times to 28.07 billion rubles from 10.52 billion rubles a year earlier. Revenue increased by 22.5% to 504.7 billion rubles from 411.8 billion rubles, gross profit — by 52.6% to 92.7 billion rubles from 60.77 billion rubles, operating profit — by 2.5 times to 50.94 billion rubles from 20.9 billion rubles.

The decision to build a subway in Moscow was made in 1931, and on October 15, 1934, the first test train ran along the Komsomolskaya—Sokolniki section. The first section of the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line was opened to passengers on February 26, 2018, and the line was fully opened on March 1, 2023.
