Promising technologies for rolling stock

Abstract

The article highlights the development prospects and possible changes in traction rolling stock technologies in the coming years, as well as the problems that may arise as a result of advances in this area.

Rail transport is a key aspect of the state economy. It is difficult to imagine a modern economic system without the railway industry. The presence of our own rolling stock production creates a solid foundation for the economy of any country.

In Russia, rail transport became the basis for the industrial rise of the country in the late 19th century. It was the development of railway networks that contributed to a breakthrough in the economy, and also ensured the geopolitical interests of the country. This type of transport still plays an important role in the domestic economy. The modern national economy and its development prospects, the place of the state in the system of international relations largely depend on its functioning.

Due to the noticeable increase in prices for energy resources, global manufacturers of traction rolling stock are forced to look for ways to optimize operating costs.

The purpose of the study is to consider the need not only to optimally organize existing technologies, but also to adopt innovative solutions that will improve the position of rail transport.
