Ukrzaliznytsia has launched a new Ukrainian-built train to Boryspil airport. The head of the company, Yevgeny Kravtsov, announced this on his Facebook page.
According to Kravtsov, the new diesel train has 3 carriages and can carry up to 470 passengers in one trip. In addition, the transport is inclusive and environmentally friendly, and it was designed according to European standards.
“This is the first train in such a configuration. We will test it in operation and then decide on the further purchase of such express trains,” he wrote.
Kravtsov also noted that the company is currently studying the possibility of electrifying the section all the way to the airport, after which electric trains could be launched.
Earlier, Ukrzaliznytsia together with Polish Railways launched a new international connecting route Lviv–Berlin.
