Koleje Ukraińskie w 2017 roku
Journal Title: Technika Transportu Szynowego - Year 2018, Vol 288, Issue 4
Abstract
Ukrainian Railways (UZ) is the operator and a state monopolist in the railway in Ukraine. The UZ railway network is electrified using 25 kV 50 Hz and 3 kV DC voltage. The volume of passenger and cargo transport of UZ is significant – the 6th and 7th place in the world, respectively. UZ is divided into 6 divisions, which correspond to the former division of SŻD. In the first half of 2017, UZ transported 103.2 million passengers and 166.1 million t of cargo. The main loads transported by rail are: coal, grain, iron ore, metal products and food. Since Ukraine’s independence in 1991, UZ has not been significantly restructured and poor management and ubiquitous corruption are factors that significantly reduce the efficiency of UZ’s operations. The rolling stock repair plants (locomotives and cars) have not been separated from the UZ structure so far. The problem remains still a significant degree of depletion of the rolling stock, and the total stopping of transport in some regions is real. The central authorities of Ukraine decided to reform UZ as a term for obtaining credit from Western banks and a new international company management of UZ was established. New daily passenger trains were launched, including to Poland, using the rolling stock purchased for the Euro 2012 football championship. The electrified UZ network is successively executed.
