Uralvagonzavod and Canada's Bombardier plan to sign a package of agreements to set up production in Russia of cars for subway trains and trams at the Innoprom-2012 exhibition that will be held July 12-15 in Yekaterinburg, Uralvagonzavod said, according to Interfax.
The agreements call for transferring technology to Russia, training staff at Bombardier's European plants, joint design and organization of production.
It was reported earlier that the joint venture between Bombardier and the Russian company, known as UVZ, to build trams would probably be located at Uraltransmash. UVZ plans to set up three lines for production of different modifications of trams.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
