Prospects of modern diesel trains creation in the countries of the Eurasian space

In the article analyzed a brief history, current status and scientific-practical perspectives of modern fleet diesel trains creation for high-speed traffic. It is shown that not the economy using of locomotive traction in the suburban movement and the prospect of writing off in the next decade, significant quantities of diesel trains, which are now operating on the Eurasian Railways, more acutely raises the question of creation of new rolling stock for commuter traffic with modern traction gear. Consequently the analytical study of current trends to build diesel trains, analysis and comparison of different traction types, causing the main prospects of scientific research in the relevant fields of science. This study allows determining basic directions of development of diesel rolling stock which will create progressive design practical solutions on the basis of scientific researchers in this field.
