Testing of electric locomotives from France’s Alstom and China’s CRRC will start in coming weeks, Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan tells Delo news site. Last fall, Ukrzaliznytsya started receiving diesel locomotives from a General Electric plant in Pennsylvania. In addition to performance, price and durability, the state railroad will look for supplier financing. “Financing will be external – there really is no money inside the company,” Anton Sabolevsky, UZ’s director for strategic development, tells the Center for Transportation Studies.
