Ukrzaliznytsia is negotiating with GE Transportation a potentially $200 million deal to supply up to 40 diesel locomotives, Ivan Yuryk, acting CEO of the state railroad, tells NV Business. Last year, the US company completed the supply of 30 locomotives, made with 10% local content. Under a 2018 contract, the second batch of locomotive was to have 50% local content. Separately, UZ is holding an international tender for the supply of 200 electric locomotives through the 2020s.
