OREANDA-NEWS. March 05, 2010. Ruzkhimmash OJSC is to deliver 1 800 tanks of the 15-1213 model for light oil and 1800 gondolas of the 12-132 model to Freight One by the end of 2010.

Freight One’s CEO Salman Babayev said, "This new contract with Ruzkhimmash is a continuation of the mutually beneficial cooperation that was established in 2008—2009. We purchased 1 450 cement hoppers in 2008 from Mordovia Railway Car Plant and about 700 units of rolling stock in 2009, mainly tanks. Taking into account Freight One’s rolling stock needs in 2010 and factors such as fleet renewal and the expansion of manufacturing, we decided to step up our cooperation with Ruzkhimmash this year".

Updating the freight car fleet is one of the strategic tasks Freight One was created for. The company acquired about 8 thousand units of rolling stock from Russian producers in 2009, which represents almost 50% Russia’s total production of railway cars last year. In 2010 Freight One plans to spend its own funds for the purchase of at least 15,000 cars different types.
