Yes, right now the 2015 edition of Expo2015 is live and happening. And not without a nice parade of the old and the new. Check it out:

BTW, relevant for Railcolor, these locomotives are shown at Expo2015:

Alstom+Transmashholding EP20-048
Alstom+Transmashholding+KTZ KZ4At-0003
Siemens+Sinara 2ES7-001
Bombardier+PLZ 2EV120-001

The image above shows double unit 2ES10-118 with booster unit 2ES10.S-002. With such an additional section, a Granit can develop a staggering 13.2 MW hour rating. Uralskie lokomotivy completed the first booster section back in May 2014. A triple-section locomotive, one Granit is able to pull freight trains of up to 9.000 tonnes.

Some Granit facts:
- Uralskie lokomotivy is currently building the first batch of 221 2ES10 locomotives

- The Russian railways however have ordered more similar locomotives

- Ural Locomotives also offers the 2ES7, the 25kV AC version of the 2ES10

- Three machines were built for the railways of the Ukraine (2ES10 001-003 -Svyatogor-) in 2013, but these were repatriated to Russia as political tensions between both states worsened in 2014

- 2ES10-222 was deliverd for mining company OAO Apatit. Originally it as built as 2ES10-012 for the Russian railways

Ural Locomotives, a JV of Siemens and Sinara, is developing a complete pallet of electrics, incorporating both single and multi-system electrics.

More information about 2ES10 and 2ES7:

Siemens: At the international rail salon "Expo 1520“ in Moscow, Russia, a new AC locomotive was presented for freight transport in countries with the 1520 gauge. The type AC 11201 locomotive was developed by Ural Locomotives, a joint venture of Siemens and the Sinara Group. Siemens supplied the propulsion system for the locomotive.
The first prototype of the locomotive was completed in July 2013 and has since undergone more than 5,000 kilometers of testing. Tests for the locomotive’s authorization are currently ongoing and are expected to be completed in April 2014. They are being conducted primarily on the test tracks of the All-Russian Railway Research Institute in Shcherbinka, near Moscow.

“The new locomotive offers innovative and energy-efficient technology, and was developed in record time by our Russian and German engineers,” said Jochen Eickholt, CEO of the Rail Systems Division, at the locomotive’s presentation. The AC 11201 is an eight-axle double locomotive with four bogies. It was designed for hauling freight trains of up to 9,000 tons. “The electric locomotive can be operated in all countries with the 1520 gauge,“ noted Alexander Saltaev, General Director of Ural Locomotives.

In the meantime, Ural Locomotives has completed the prototype locomotive, with works designation '11201 001'. The exterior design of the 11201 is quite different, compared to the original Granit-design.

First a scheme with all orders/MoU, figures and class designations:

With the help of Siemens, the figure above has been updated. The second and third order may include (2)ES6 model locomotives too.

Designations for the recent order of 350
During the Hannover Messe, the Russian railways and Ural locomotives (Siemens+Sinara) signed a memorandum of understanding for the delivery of 350 single body electric locomotives. Two different types will be developed: ES7 (25kV AC) and ES10 (3kV DC). The final contract should be signed in 2014. In 2020 all 350 units should be delivered. - EK/Siemens

Modified design for 2ES7
At this moment, Ural Locomotives is developing the 25kV AC version of the Granit. This type has the working designation 2ES7. A first locomotive is currently under construction. In August 2013 the prototype should arrive at the VNIIZhT test center in Shcherbinka. After that it will be exhibited during the next EXPO 1520 fair, to be held from 11 until 14 September 2013.
First impressions of this new type of locomotive showed a cab design very similar to that of the 2ES10. But more recent artist impressions show a more detailed design with horizontal lamp housings in stead of vertical ones. A special grey livery is applied with red, white and blue details and promotional EXPO 1520 inscriptions on the side. - railvolution

Ukraine tenders for 2ES10 locomotives
Also the railways of the Ukraine (UZ) want 2ES10 locomotives. Under a leasing scheme they want to put 43 locomotives into service. Recently, UZ also ordered 300 new electric locomotives from Luhanskteplovoz, a subsidiary of Transmashholding. These twin-section machines will be designated 2EL4 (3kV DC) and 2EL5 (25kV AC). - railvolution
