## Innoprom 2025: High-Speed Tram "Voyevoda" Takes Centre Stage

Innoprom 2025, Russia's premier industrial trade fair, is showcasing an impressive array of innovations, with a particular focus on smart urban mobility and sustainable transport. Among the standout exhibits is the high-speed tram **"Voyevoda"**, a technological marvel designed to revolutionise public transit.

### The "Voyevoda" Tram: A Game Changer for Urban Transport

The **Voyevoda** is a 37.5-metre long, fully low-floor tram capable of accommodating up to 400 passengers. This high-speed tram, engineered for efficiency and comfort, boasts a speed of up to 100 km/h (62 mph), making it one of the fastest trams suitable for urban and suburban routes.

The tram's impressive features include regenerative braking systems and energy-saving electric motors, ensuring minimal power consumption. Its AI-driven autonomous driving capabilities and integrated AI system optimise route planning and traffic adaptation, ensuring safe and efficient passenger transportation. The low-floor design facilitates easy boarding, with facilities for passengers with reduced mobility. Onboard Wi-Fi, real-time passenger information systems, and smart ticketing systems further enhance the passenger experience.

### Other Notable Exhibits at Innoprom 2025

Beyond the "Voyevoda", Innoprom 2025 offers a wealth of other innovative exhibits. Electric vehicles (EVs) from various manufacturers showcase extended battery life, fast charging, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Highlights include modular battery packs and hydrogen fuel-cell prototypes.

Industrial robotics and automation take centre stage, with cutting-edge robotic arms and collaborative robots (cobots) designed for manufacturing, logistics, and assembly lines. Smart factory solutions, such as digital twin technology and IoT platforms, integrate real-time data from machines for predictive maintenance and quality control.

Urban infrastructure innovations include smart traffic management systems, advanced waste management and recycling technologies, and aerospace technologies like unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for industrial inspection and delivery.

### A Look Ahead

While many exhibits are standing idle today, they will showcase their full capabilities tomorrow. The **Voyevoda** simulator, installed at the exhibition, offers visitors a glimpse into the driver's cabin experience. Saudi Arabia, participating as the country partner for the first time, showcases its supplies to Russia, primarily consisting of petrochemical products, food items such as dates, shrimp, fresh fruits, and vegetable oils.

Innoprom 2025 underscores Russia's accelerating leap into high-tech industrial and transport solutions, with the **high-speed tram "Voyevoda"** representing a significant step forward in urban mobility. The wide array of exhibits in electric vehicles, robotics, smart factories, and aerospace technologies illustrates a comprehensive vision of the future industrial landscape.
