Currently, the 3 cars are in service in Nizhny Tagil while two other demonstrators have been transferred back to the factory.[2]
Design
The vehicle uses a new bogie design with a two-stage spring suspension. This allows for the creation of a wide aisle, easing the movement of passengers within the cabin. The exterior has been designed in a modular way, making replacement of body parts in depots easier due to it being a removable element.[3]
