Asserting that the shortage of freight cars has been overcome, Kravtsov says that in 2018, private companies built 10,000 cars and the state railroad built 3,500 more — “a record for the company over the past 25 years.” This year, Ukrzaliznytsia plans to use a new $150 million loan from the EBRD to buy up to 6,500 gondola wagons – suitable for moving coal or steel. The railroad carries 82% of the nation’s freight and about 50% of passenger traffic.
