Russia Needs Over 25 M USD p.a. To Support Freight Manufacturers

Support to the freight car manufacturing industry requires 2-3 B RUB (25.2 - 37.8 M USD), the TASS quotes Dmitry Rutenberg, Head of the Transport Regulation Directorate of the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service.

“We believe it appropriate own behalf of the Government to adopt actions aimed at supporting car customers - as some scrapping bonus or similar benefits”, he said. “We believe that around 2 - 3 B RUB p.a. will be needed to retain the balance”.
