JSC Ukrzaliznytsia 20 in August, after a tender, ordered PJSC Kryvyi Rih Wagon-Building Plant to supply wagons for 1,09 billion UAH.
This information is published in the ProZorro system.
By the end of 2029 year the manufacturer will deliver 10 sleeping compartment passenger cars:
These are new-model wagons that Ukrzaliznytsia first ordered from KVZ a year ago, in July 2025. Back then their dollar prices were 5-9% lower, namely $2,26 million, $2,28 million, and $2,35 million respectively. The wagons feature a wider T-gauge, a body shell made of corrosion-resistant metals, a disc brake, and air conditioning. As the Ukrzaliznytsia press center reported, the use of stainless steel for the body shells extends the service life of these wagons to 50 years, which is 20 years longer than for standard Ukrzaliznytsia wagons. They will have sleeping places of 2,2 meters in length, electric heating, sliding doors, and air suspension.
Models 61-7157 with 40 seats and 61-7158 with 44 seats have only one vestibule. Both toilets are at one end: the large one with a shower installation and the small one with a changing table and a hanging child seat. The inclusive model 61-7159 with 30 seats has two vestibules. It has two toilets at different ends adapted for a passenger in a wheelchair, and they provide enough space, fold-down grab bars, a belt, a call button for the conductor, a shower installation, and a hygienic shower.
In the compartment there will be a light control panel with a occupancy information board for toilets, a conductor call button, a security alarm button, a temperature control panel, power outlets 220 B with USB and Type-C ports, and wireless charging. In the large corridors there will be an electronic information board, two toilet occupancy boards, panels with indicators and conductor call-off buttons, three outlets 220 B, a video camera, informational click systems, and a catering screen. In the small corridors and vestibules, video cameras are also provided.
The contract provides for an advance payment of 64,5% and payment of the remaining 35,5% within a month after delivery.
As before, the bidding was open, but only one Ukrainian manufacturer participated—the Kryvyi Rih Wagon-Building Plant. It won the contract at a price equal to the anticipated one.
The main shareholders of KVZ are the plant's director Volodymyr Prykhodko and his wife Nataliya Prykhodko. According to the YouControl analytical system, they control 34% of the plant’s shares, i.e., 68% for the two. A further 25% of the shares belong to the state of Ukraine via the State Property Fund. The holders of the remaining 7% of shares are not visible, since only owners of packages over five percent are published.
Earlier 25% of KVZ belonged to Stanislav Hamzalo, head of the board of directors of the wagon producer Zavod Metalokonštruktsiy (Engels, Saratov region, Russia). In 2022 year, a Ukrainian court seized the Russian’s shares.
