Market and Economic Attractiveness

  • According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine (http://mtu.gov.ua/news/27947.html), on the balance sheet of enterprises of urban electric transport of Ukraine is more than 6000 units of rolling stock (trams - about 2000; trolleybuses - 3000; metro cars - 1200) of which 87% have exhausted the normative service life and require replacement or modernization, in particular tram cars - 96% (2200 units), trolleybuses - 76% (2200 units), metro cars - 80% (about 1000 units). Thus, the needs of the Ukrainian market are averaged estimated as about 5500 traction electric drives with an average capacity of 200 kW for ETZ powered by a contact network, which forms a market with an estimated volume of up to 330 million euros, which today is overwhelmingly covered by imports. The estimated cost of imported traction kit is 55 - 60 thousand euros, while domestic production is 40 - 45% less.
