The project for supply of 130 Alstom locomotives worth EUR 900 million is moving into the stage of practical implementation.
This figure is half the figure in the pre-COVID period.
This measure is stipulated in the company’s financial plan.
Workers have installed 467 supports along the Kovel-Ovadno railway stretch, where work is continuing.
The Business & Family Lounge is still operating in test mode.
The commuter trains will perform 18 trips on the route daily.
The salaries of Ukrainian railroad workers have increased compared with last year.
Work is continuing on the 43-kilometer Kovel-Ovadno railway stretch.
The company reported a “positive financial result” of UAH 114 million for November.
This is due to the work on electrification of the Kovel-Izov-Polish border railway stretch and the modernization of the Znamianka-Zdolbuniv stretch.
The project is based on a model under which the local authorities will pay part of Ukrzaliznytsia’s cost of transporting passengers on the route.
The Kryukov Railcar Building Works has declared that it is ready to produce 10 diesel trains per year.
According to Infrastructure Minister Kubrakov, this is a matter of national sovereignty for Ukraine because most of the regions in need of track electrification are border regions.
Ukrzaliznytsia is currently implementing the first phase of a cooperation agreement, which involves the provision of consulting services.
The trains will most likely be registered to the Southern and Lviv railways.
It plans to purchase 80 rolling stock.
Ukrainian components may be used for locomotives intended not only for Ukrzaliznytsia, but also for Alstom’s other international contracts.
718 million passengers were transported by road in January-August this year.
Such trains transported containers only from China to Ukraine from summer 2020 until now.
Alstom clarified that these are not only potential suppliers under the planned contract for supply of electric locomotives to Ukraine.
