The EP20 "Olimp" is a Russian dual-system, high-speed, six-axle passenger electric locomotive designed by Transmashholding using a number of technical solutions from the French company Alstom as part of the Rail Transport Technologies joint venture.

The EP20 is conceived as the lead project in a large-scale program for the development of a wide range of new-generation Russian electric locomotives with an asynchronous traction drive.

Since the electric locomotives of this series were planned to be used for hauling express trains on the Moscow-Adler route without changing locomotives along the entire route for passenger transportation during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, in honor of the upcoming Olympics, the series The locomotive was given the name "Olympus."

The electric locomotive is being mass-produced at the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant.

The 2ES5 "Skif" is a fifth-generation AC mainline freight locomotive, developed jointly by Transmashholding and the French company Alstom for Russian Railways. The locomotive is part of a new family of Russian electric locomotives built on a single platform. 75% of its components are planned to be unified with the lead project—the EP20 dual-system passenger electric locomotive.
