Russian company supplies rolling stock to Cuba

A business contract to supply Cuba with rolling stock was signed at the headquarters of the Cuban Embassy in Russia. The contract was signed between the foreign trade agency of the Cuban Ministry of Transport and RM Rail (Russian Machines rail industry).
According to the Cuban News Agency, there will be 363 rail cars in total, including 163 hopper wagons for the better development of the sugar harvest.
The contract was signed by Jose Antonio Arias Garcia, director of TRADEX, Cuban Import Company belonging to MITRANS, and Andrey Vodopyanov, director of business development for the Russian company RM-Rail, supplier of the rolling stock.
