The article describes the technology of organizing intracity freight transport by modular freight electric trains (MFET), the advantages of the introduction of such trains in comparison with locomotive traction freight trains are mentioned, the main directions of transportation are indicated, the technology of loading and unloading operations during the initial final operations with MFET is given. The foreign and historical experience of organizing freight transportation by rail is described. A list of economic effects from the introduction of this type of traction is given. Due to the modularity of the structures produced railway equipment nowadays, the creation of MFET is possible on the design and production base of modern passenger electric rolling stock – trains of the EP2D, EP3D, EG2Tv, ES1, ES2 series. This will reduce the cost of design and development and testing of such trains, significantly accelerate the launch of the MFET into permanent operation and obtain positive effects for the economy of cities.
