Lemtrans builds its own rolling stock fleet
Lemtrans acquired 300 new gondola cars of Ukrainian production. The new rolling stock is planned to be used for the transportation of bulk cargo across the entire Ukrainian rail network.
"Fleet renewal is a part of a strategy to improve the company's performance. It will undoubtedly enhance the operational stability of our business. However, it will not be possible to increase the efficiency of rail transport exclusively through the purchase of the cars, - says Vladimir Mezentsev, General Manager of Lemtrans". - Now the technical condition of the locomotives on the network is one of the key reasons for non-delivery of goods. Unfortunately, the infrastructure for today also does not allow to seriously develop freight transportation. "
