TMH said it is the only Russian manufacturer of short-haul trains suitable for low-slung routes, reports Railway Supply magazine citing TMH.

The 120 km / h EP2D electric trains are 44.8 m long and feature seating benches, a passive safety system designed to protect the crew and passengers in a collision, and a modern climate control system including UV air purification.

The design complies with the technical regulations of the countries of the Customs Union, which allows it to work in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. The previous pair of EP2D electric trains were delivered to Armenia in 2018.
