Promising Areas of Research on the Dynamics of Wheel-Motor Blocks of Main Electric Locomotives in Relation to Increasing the Life Cycle

Overview information on failures and malfunctions of wheelsets of main electric locomotives, which may be affected by electromechanical transients in the form of torque of traction engines, is presented. The current state of scientific study of this issue is briefly considered. The relevance of research has been determined.
