Mandatory retirement of railcars based on age could harm Ukraine's economy and safety. The Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (UСПП) urges the government to revise rules for extending freight car service life, warning that strict age-based decommissioning will reduce the fleet, cause shortages, and increase logistics costs during wartime. The UСПП proposes allowing extended service based on technical condition, not just age, and suggests accredited organizations perform inspections, aligning with international practices.
