Public joint-stock company Kriukov Car Building Works (KCBW, Poltava region) has started to repair Hyundai high-speed trains, Chief Designer Oleh Shkabrov has told reporters.

He said that Ukrainian Railway High-Speed Company, which operates the Hyundai trains, proposed that the plant repair the trains.

"We're repairing pantographs, elements of the roof, and reinforcing elements that were damaged during the exploitation of the trains," he said, adding that all of the repair work is agreed with South Korea.

The Kriukov plant, which is the CIS's only manufacturer of both passenger carriages and freight wagons, produces freight wagons (open wagons, tankers, hopper wagons, and high-sided wagons), as well as passenger carriages, bogies for freight wagons, wheel pairs, and spare parts for subway carriages, escalators, containers, and road equipment.

Its produce is exported to over 20 countries.
