Rolling Stock
The system uses two types of rolling stock, both made in Russia.
The older train sets, type 81-717/714, have been manufactured by Metrovagonmash in Mytishchi near Moscow and consisted of 48 carriages in total. They were delivered in 1990 - some 8 years prior to the opening of the first section of the system.
The second generation of rolling stock, type 81-740/741 "Rusich", have also been manufactured by Metrovagonmash. The delivery of this type commenced in 2005 and is still in progress. With line M2 now in service, 18 more trains of this type were delivered by the end of 2012.
