Dmitry Narezhny, Head of IPEM’s Integrated Research Department, said that in 2020 and 2021, Russia saw a significant increase in container traffic, which reached 5.8 million TEU in 2020 (an increase of 15.9% by 2019). Due to the growth of traffic on the network, there is a shortage of fitting platforms.

This was reported by the railway magazine Railway Supply with reference to tzdjournal..

In the coming years, the growth of container traffic is expected to continue, which will lead to an increase in the required fleet and the formation of a technological surplus, according to the head of the department of integrated research IPEM.

The need for supplies of new fitting platforms will grow, which will ensure high production of cars by 2023. The expert predicts a decrease in orders to car builders from 2024.
