Joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia has revised the average daily speed of its own freight rolling stock, which will make the use of the company's wagons much more profitable for customers.
The company's press service reported this on Facebook, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
The message states that carriers will spend fewer days on transportation, and therefore will pay less for the use of wagons.
It is noted that the updated speed indicators were established based on a detailed analysis of the actual movement of wagons in the first half of 2025.
In particular, it was found that for a number of types of rolling stock, the actual average daily speed significantly exceeds the current standards.
The new values came into force on June 16 and will be valid until December 31, 2025.
The revised speed standards cover the following types of rolling stock owned by Ukrzaliznytsia: grain trucks, tank cars, covered wagons, cement trucks, converted specialized rolling stock, piggyback and fitting platforms.
For fitting platforms, the speed has been increased to: domestic and import transportation: wagon/container shipment - 170 km/day (was 154), route trains - 197 km/day (was 154);
export through land checkpoints: all types - 213 km/day (was 139);
transportation to port stations: wagon shipment - 182 km/day (was 156), route or container trains - 264 km/day (was 156).
On average, for such rolling stock, the speed in motion will increase by an average of 38%.
This will allow the shipper to deliver cargo in fewer days of using a Ukrzaliznytsia wagon, which directly reduces logistics costs and will contribute to the development of container transportation both within Ukraine and to other countries.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukrzaliznytsia is launching a regional express from Kyiv to Zhytomyr.
