France’s Alstom and China’s CRRC have signed memoranda of cooperation with Ukrzaliznytsya for the production in Ukraine of electric locomotives. Earlier this year, Ukraine’s state railways signed a 15-year production and supply deal with GE Transportation for diesel locomotives. This week, Evhen Kravtsov, the railroad CEO signed the agreements in Berlin. He says that the railroad needs up to 500 new electric locomotives by 2029. The average age of the railroad’s 800 electric locomotives is 39 years.
