112 modern train sets operate on MCD-4, of which 30 are “Ivolga 4.0” models. The urban electric train was created specifically for the MCD. It is designed and manufactured by an enterprise that is part of the Tver industrial engineering cluster At the Tver Carriage-Building Plant.
The control system and software of “Ivolga” are also domestically produced. More than a thousand enterprises and about 120,000 specialists across the country are involved in the production of the train.
“Together with the diameters, we are creating modern city railway stations — comfortable, safe, with transfers to the metro, Moscow Central Circle and ground transportation. In April 2026, the Moscow city railway station opened

Moreover, on September 5, Vladimir Putin and Sergey Sobyanin inaugurated the Moscow city railway station Sickle and Hammer.
New transportation connections enable the development of territories. Residential neighborhoods, public, and business activity grow around stations. For example, in the first year after the launch of the MCC-4, the total cash revenue of small and medium-sized businesses within a 1.5-kilometer radius of the stations increased by almost 15 percent in comparable prices. The biggest growth was in public catering, retail, and wholesale trade.
