This marks the fifth train refurbished since the beginning of the year, and it will operate in the Lviv region.

Special attention was given to both the exterior and interior: the train’s body was restored, interior equipment replaced, old seats with soft and comfortable sofas, LED lighting installed, and new cabin partitions mounted.

A priority during the modernization was creating conditions for the convenient and safe movement of passengers with reduced mobility.

Special spaces for people with disabilities and passengers with children have been provided, along with convenient spaces for transporting bicycles.

These changes aim to enhance passenger comfort and safety, a key aspect of Ukrzaliznytsia’s operations.

The new electric train will not only improve service quality but also represent a significant step in modernizing Ukraine’s railway transport.

Modernizing the rolling stock is crucial for infrastructure development and improving transportation services.

This is particularly important given the increasing demand for quality transportation services and the growing number of passengers preferring railway transport.

Ukrzaliznytsia’s future plans include further modernization and refurbishment of rolling stock to create more comfortable and safe conditions for passengers.

Each new upgrade represents a step forward in developing a modern and efficient transportation system in Ukraine.
