Bombardier Transportation and Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) have signed, on July 11, 2016, a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the creation of joint industrial activities in Ukraine. Both parties agree to work closely together to define the best possible way to rapidly and cost-efficiently upgrade Ukrainian Railways’ locomotive fleet.
“We are considering the possibility of cooperating with Bombardier in the joint production of electric locomotives in Ukraine. The work has already begun with the negotiations. We have agreed to establish a corresponding working group that will determine the main technical and economic parameters of the new traction rolling stock fleet,” Volodymyr Omelyan, Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, said.
