Soon-speed railway Moscow-Beijing link the two countries, China and Russia.The preliminary cost of the project is equivalent to 1.5 trillion yuan, or 242 billion dollars.The total length of the road Buda is 7 thousand kilometers.Travel time from one point to another is 2 days, and the road itself will be laid through the territory of Kazakhstan.
minimum travel time
Today, China is actively offering its innovative technologies in the construction of railways international level.One of such projects should be a high-speed railway from Moscow to Beijing.The news spread around the world very quickly, especially when cooled relations between America, Europe and Russia combined with the conflict in the east of Ukraine and Russia's attempt to recover from the stunning collapse of the international oil market.In October, 2014 between the Corporation "Chinese Railways» (China Railway Construction Corporation) and the Ministry of Transport, Railways and the State Committee of China Development and Reform Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of high-speed rail.The main purpose of the document was to develop the project of the Eurasian transport corridor high-speed type, the structure of which will include highway Moscow-Kazan.
History of Ideas
Light Railway from Moscow to Beijing at the level of ideas existed for quite a long time.The project has become a great alternative for those who do not have the desire to travel by air.Transfer of ideas on the level of the current project comes amid activation shopping in America, delivery of which is guaranteed by the specialists as soon as possible.High-speed railway project must provide to countries such as China and Russia, a worthy international competitiveness.As mentioned above, according to representatives of Railways, high-speed railway from Moscow to Beijing will cost the country at 7 trillion rubles.The Chinese partners are willing to invest in the construction of roads amount equivalent to 4 trillion rubles, the rest of the cost will be borne by the Russian budget.Today, active negotiations on the allocation of funds for the construction of the road from Moscow to Kazan in the framework of the international project.
What pulls the construction of the road?
period when the expressway Moscow-Beijing will build, yet little known.This is due to the protracted decision on financing.Given the situation that has developed today in Russia, despite the fact that China is ready to take on most of the costs, the country is simply not ready to bear such a large-scale financial expenses.3 trillion rubles today are unsupportable for the state capital.It is highly probable that a project will attract private investors.
technical issues and preliminary decisions
information provided by the correspondents of the newspaper The Beijing Times, says the discussion about the active construction of the railway between the two countries.The first step towards the realization of the project should be the way from Moscow to Kazan.Beginning of the route is planned to equip Beijing, then the road will pass through cities such as Khabarovsk and Ulan Bator, Irkutsk and Astana, Yekaterinburg.The final destination will be Moscow.Ready-speed railway will be three times longer than today functioning high-speed line between Beijing and Guangzhou.Travel time between the cities after the implementation of the project will not be six days, and only two.Today, between the capitals of the two states, two trains ply only during the week.The route was opened in 1954.Trans-Siberian Railway is considered to be the longest in the world.It stretched from Moscow to Vladivostok.It crosses 400 stations and its length is 9288 kilometers.
first difficulties, and the first radical steps
speed train Beijing-Moscow in the near future is unlikely to come to your route.As mentioned above, the first stage of the project, which in the future will connect the territory of the two states should be road Moscow-Kazan, the preliminary cost of which was too high for Russia.To attract investors, "Gazprombank" road show had a total value of 1.06 trillion rubles in cities such as Beijing and Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai.According to preliminary information, it has already held a series of meetings with potential partners around the world:
- May 14 - in Singapore.
- May 15 - Shanghai.
- May 16 - Beijing.
In the long term is considered the visit of representatives of the bank "Gazprom" in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan.According to the Russian Railways, meetings with Asian investors were planned for several months.Involve the partnership because the East has to tough sanctions from the West.The report from the "Pronedra" said that high-speed road from Moscow to Beijing in the next few years will not be built.The implementation of the first part of the project, the SCM between Moscow and Kazan, can be extended to 2020.This is due to the fact that the Railways have not yet managed to find an investor.
first phase of the project
the first phase of the project the state budget and the "Russian Railways" intend to allocate 191.9 billion rubles.Other sections of the path, such as Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod, Cheboksary, Cheboksary, Kazan, planned to settle by concessions.It is reported by the Ministry of Transport of 29 January 2015.The first draft of the inhabitants of the region, under which will be implemented expressway, learned only in the early 2015.The new path will be laid parallel to the federal highway M-7, known as the "Volga".The composition will make a stop.In particular, Vladimir station will be located in Sukhodol.
What do residents of the regions?
Light Railway from Moscow to Beijing on the map that will pass through a large enough portion of the territories caused the people who have to live with it in the neighborhood, is very controversial.There worried alleged damage that touches farmland, forests and formed styling.The authorities officially declared that in each region, which will be the construction, all activities will be pre-agreed with the population.One of the sources says that if we can find a sponsor, the BCM will be opened in 2018.The maximum speed of movement on the road will be 400 kilometers per hour, which will reduce the journey from Moscow to Kazan from 11 hours to 3.5.Responsibilities of the parties
Light Railway from Moscow to Beijing, the scheme is theoretically very attractive and profitable, according to preliminary plans, should begin its work in the period from 2018 to 2020-th.In the future, the Chinese side undertakes to provide to the project its technology.The country is ready to assume full responsibility for the planning and construction.In return for massive aid to China is ready to take on Russian energy.
Until December 15, 2014 it was planned to develop the conditions under which Chinese companies can take part in the project.Information about how to determine whether to issue an agreement is hidden from public view.The right to the design of the project highway Moscow-Kazan won the Russian-Chinese consortium under the control of "Mostgiprotrans" with the participation of activists of "Nizhegorodmetroproekt" and CREEC (China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co. Ltd.).Price Agreement for this category is equivalent to 20 billion rubles, but without VAT.
Analysts Project
speed railway Moscow-Beijing - the project high priority and promising, but it does not prevent analysts were skeptical.They say that the launch date of the SCM in the context of 2018-2020 years are unrealistic.According to Alexei Bezborodova occupying the post of general director of the agency InfraNews, in the next decade as a project launch will fail.The basis for this attitude was the official statement by the Russian Railways that at present a concrete action plan for the construction of high-speed rail is not there yet.There are just a high probability that the road from Moscow to Kazan in the long term will be extended to Ekaterinburg and on.
Who will benefit from the construction of the expressway?
Highway Moscow-Beijing will bring certain benefits not only for the Russian Railways, but also for the States as a whole.This is due to the agglomeration effect that will arise as the resettlement of the population in the project.The expected term high-speed line shall be increased by 30-70% of GRP in the regions.Additional revenues from the road will meet not less than 11 billion rubles in the first decade of operation of the project.This figure was presented by group of economic institutions, headed by the Ministry of Economic Development.If the BCM still appear only on the territory of the Vladimir region's GRP will increase by 38%.It is about 84 billion rubles plus.By 2030, this figure will increase by 58%, or in monetary terms - to 131 billion rubles.In the Nizhny Novgorod region the expected economic growth rate is 39%, or 252 billion rubles, but by 2030 it should reach at least 76%, or 496 billion.In Chuvashia, a value is expected to increase by 13%, or 20 billion rubles.By 2025, the jump will be 28%, or 43 billion rubles.In Tatarstan, the expected growth of the economy in 2025 will be equal to 27%, or 274 billion rubles.
