Leasing is one of the most effective financial tools for updating fixed assets. Therefore, the rail market is highly interested in using it to upgrade rolling stock, which is why there are many successful examples. And the Logistics Alliance, as an expression of industry interests, is ready to help develop the leasing market, which has been showing growth over the last four years, for the rapid modernization of wagons and traction. For this purpose, a Cooperation Agreement was signed between the associations on 10 October 2019.
The cooperation document envisages the promotion of leasing among the participants of the Ukrainian logistics services market, the involvement of leading specialists of the parties as consultants, joint holding of specialized events, exchange of information and statistics.
The signatories were Maryna Masich, CEO of the Association «Ukrainian Union of Lessors», and Andriy Gataulin, CEO of the Ukrainian Logistics Alliance.
