The Minsk Metro will put new “Minsk 2024” trainsets from the Russian manufacturer Metrovagonmash into service on the Avtozavodskaya Line in December, Minsk-News reports.

The contract for the train delivery was signed in February this year. The metro system is to receive four five-car trainsets in total. Two trains have already arrived in Minsk, with two more expected in December.

The carriages feature wide doorways (1,400 mm) and walk-through gangways (up to 1,500 mm wide). The interiors are equipped with handrails with “warm” coating, climate-control systems, video surveillance, and USB sockets. The end carriages include spaces for passengers with reduced mobility and for prams.
