  "account": "Ukrzaliznytsia, the Ukrainian state-owned railway company, has added six new domestically produced passenger carriages to its fleet, according to a report on Telegram on Saturday. These carriages, manufactured by a local enterprise, boast powerful batteries to ensure maximum autonomy, with the ability to keep essential facilities such as restrooms, lighting, and air conditioning operational during power outages. This ensures a comfortable journey for passengers even if the carriage continues its route under a diesel locomotive. The company did not reveal the precise model, but a picture shows a compartment carriage. Ukrzaliznytsia highlighted that each new carriage serves as a means to maintain progress during enemy attacks on rolling stock. The company is a beneficiary of a state financing program initiated in 2021, which has resulted in the procurement of 368 passenger carriages. PJSC Kryukovsk Carriage Building Works (KRCBW) is the main supplier. In August, Ukrzaliznytsia signed a contract with KRCBW for the supply of ten new-generation passenger carriages by the end of 2029, valued at UAH 1.091 billion including VAT. This brings the total number of carriages under order in 2026 to 102 units. In May, Ukrzaliznytsia announced that approximately 1.45 thousand passenger carriages were brought into service, comprising 933 sleeping cars and 100 high-speed train carriages, of which the latter are equipped with air conditioning.",
