The new wagons are currently being used for intermodal transportation between Ukraine and the European Union.
The key feature of the freight car is its lightweight design.
The project is scheduled for completion by July 2025.
Oleksandr Garkavij, director of the Railway Products Division at the Interpipe Industrial Group, discusses the Ukrainian company’s operations on the European market, its competitive advantages, certification issues, and logistics to America and Asia.
The train came from Belarus.
The Russians claim that the plant has already produced 145 freight cars.
The Ukrainian company recently acquired a 40% stake in the Austrian manufacturer.
The traction rolling stock could also be leased.
The main advantage of the railcars is that they can transport goods within Ukraine and abroad without transfers.
The company’s intermodal platform car is certified for operation on the entire EU rail network.
But the rolling stock must meet EU standards.
Under the terms of the contract, the new railcars will be manufactured and delivered within the next two years.
The wagons are currently undergoing the necessary tests for compliance with European standards.
The company expects to take delivery of the new railcars by the end of 2025.
The company has already mastered the production of flatcars, grain hoppers, and dump cars.
The company is currently in the preparatory stage of this process.
