New Government Transport Tariffs To Encourage Railcar Purchases

Last week the government announced plans to raise rail freight transport tariffs by 2% monthly over the next five months. Inna Perepelytsya: The tariff changes should provide Ukrzaliznitsa with more cash for the purchase of new railcars. We expect the government to adopt a plan in the near future which will drop transport tariffs by 20% for those companies that own their own railcars to entice private enterprises that use rail transport to buy their own carriages.
