Work on the efficient expansion and availability of our transportation network is already underway within this business unit. Also underway is the optimisation of infrastructure costs,
and the identification of opportunities to create of new transportation and logistics products
(by increasing train speeds, improving the reliability of infrastructure services, and increasing freight capabilities). The development of rail infrastructure is part of the the foundation for national economic growth, and our goal is to meet the growing demand for transport.

The objectives of this business unit include the development of new products and services at attractive prices and ensuring the competitiveness of rail transport against its main rivals – aviation and motor transport.

In the long-distance transport sector, the Company is committed to providing an affordable alternative to other forms of passenger transport to all regions of Russia while maintaining
its share of the transport market thanks to growth of short trips and public contracts.

High-speed train operation is being developed in order to increase population mobility between locations.

In the suburban transportation segment, the Company is committed to developing a fast
and affordable alternative to private car and public bus transport in large urban areas.

This business unit implements turn-key projects in international engineering and transport construction and as a result, gains access to new markets.

Separating this out as a business unit highlights the importance of staff as a key asset, instrumental in ensuring the achievement of long-term development targets. It also indicates that the Company views its positive social policies as a significant competitive advantage.
