The DT1 multiple unit is a passenger train developed at the Torzhoksky car-building factory in Russia in 2007.[1] The train has electric and diesel power, and is intended to be used for suburban transport on 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) gauge railways, with both low and high passenger platforms in macroclimatic areas with a temperate climate.[2]
The diesel engine-electric train has a top speed of 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph). It has 370 seats, with a total capacity of 878 passengers.[2]
The volume of purchases for these trains has promptly increased since 2009. The Russian Railway company is pending implementing units for multiple routes, including from Saint Petersburg to Gdov, Sortavala, and Primorsk (through station Ushkovo.)[4]
