"Ukrzaliznytsya" in the future should concentrate only on transportation and comprehensively develop exclusively their. This was stated by the Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan on the air of "Channel 5" on January 10. "Ukrzaliznytsya" will never be able to build quality locomotives on its own, will never build high-quality cars. When they talk about their passenger trains, it's, sorry, the technology of the last century.
Wagons - designs of the 50s of the last century, locomotives - 60-70 years, "- he said. According to Omelyan, therefore, transportation stops, speed falls. "This is absurd, when in the 21st century the speed of freight traffic is a maximum of 40 km / h, and passenger ones - up to a hundred at best. "Ukrzaliznytsya" should earn only on transportation, everything else - from the evil one, "he said..
