The trains started regular service on the Moscow — Saint Petersburg Railway in December 2009 at a maximum speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) (a built new High-Speed Line for up to 330 km/h/205 mph).
On 18 May 2006 Siemens and Russian Railways signed a €276m order for 8 high speed trains with a 30-year service contract worth around €300m.
The trains were ordered to connect Moscow with Saint Petersburg and later Nizhny Novgorod at a speed of up to 250 km/h (155 mph). They are derived from the German ICE 3 train but with bodies widened by 330 mm (13 in) to 3,265 mm (10 ft 8.5 in) to suit Russia's wide loading gauge. Four of the trains ("EVS2") are equipped for both 3 kVDC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC operation. The total length of each ten-car train is 250 m (820 ft), carrying up to 600 passengers.
Development and construction was carried out by Siemens at Erlangen and Krefeld in Germany. In August 2009 it was announced that the fifth Sapsan has been delivered to Russia, of the eight that were planned.
