"Electron" against "Tatra-Yug". How Kiev buys trams
04.01.20162015 for the Lviv group of electrons can
be considered very successful. The company made its way to the market in
In an interview with the president of the
corporation LІGA.net Electron Bubes Yuri described how
he competed with the company Tatra-Yug, why did not manage to put in
- The budget of Ukraine-2015 has been allocated 100 million UAH for the development and production of trams. Which city held a tender? How many orders received Electron and how put upon?
- This subvention used successfully in
Lviv and
In
- What is the cost of the contract Lviv?
- About 7 million euros. For comparison, in the same tender Lviv participated Romanian company Astra. During the same class trams she put a price twice as high as ours.
- When the trams really deliver?
- Production time of the first five trams for the city - 7.5 months (after the first advance payment, which was received on December 30), the remaining two tram - for another two months. But here, a lot will depend on the timing of the delivery of components of our foreign partners. Most of them we need a period of production units - three (engines) up to six to eight months (gearboxes) from the time of order.
- Are you implying that there may be delays in deliveries?
- No. We are ready to supply these trams
rhythmically, moreover, expect to do so before the deadline prescribed in the
agreement. We try to avoid the use of foreign components: it is financially
profitable and allows more flexibility in the production and delivery of
finished products. There is another problem that we faced in 2015: the existing
tender procurement procedure, to put it mildly, is not perfect. It is
impossible to predict the results of the tender and, accordingly, the timing of
the start of work. For example, work on the procurement of trams
We very much hope that in
- You won a tender for the supply of seven
trams in
- The competition was divided into two
lots. The first item dealt with the purchase of a 100% low-floor tram. The
second lot includes the purchase of the five-floor trams with 35%. We decided
not to participate in this tender. Why? It was clear that for 1,5 months, we do
not have time to ensure the supply of the first tender. Why take on additional,
obviously impracticable obligations? You have to be honest with ourselves and
the people of

- I find it difficult to comment on. I
think the company has received a good return on investment. In addition,
according to my information, these trams were made two years ago. I can only
assume that, when purchasing these trams, Kyivpastrans proceeded from the fact
that in
- When
- We have a valid contract. If you have
money in Kyivpastrans we are ready to implement it.
- You have mentioned that the electrons depends on the supply of foreign components. What is the current percentage of Ukrainian components in the new trams? As the level of localization has changed in a year?
- Today we are dependent on foreign
components by approximately 30%. This is a critical import - units that are not
produced in
We ended the year with a trolley of its
own production. This is 40% of the tram. Previously we purchased them in
Passenger seats (trams and trolleybuses),
illuminated inner, outer and inner lining of the body, information systems -
Ukrainian production. Three years ago we imported glass from overseas - buy now

- You are in this year launched production of buses. How many sold?
- Won a tender to supply 10 low-floor buses with engines in Lviv ecological standard Euro-5. Delivery time - the end of February 2016. Preparing to produce buses with Euro-6 standards - for the European market.
- Where to buy engines for them?
- Engines and bridges is forced to buy in
- You made electric bus model E19101. Already passed the lions? Who else is interested?
- Lions bought it, now it passes the test
preparation. Also under the agreement do test the 12-meter electric buses for
- How many trolleybuses you have made this year and a plan for 2016-th?
- In the Lions put five units, two in
- The Ministry of Infrastructure said that
the three world producers agree on the thrust production in
- I held talks with the representatives of
Hyundai and Bombardier. We discussed ways of cooperation. Bombardier is ready
to participate in the w / d, and the electric transport projects (production of
trams). Hyundai sees
- In what roles you consider the same Hyundai?
- As partners. They have the technology at the level of know-how - the control system drives. I told them: "Please offer." For this to be profitable, they have to deal with not just the assembly and production of components here. Will it be a joint venture? I dont know. Form of cooperation - a secondary question.
- What are the power plant? Are they loaded?
- Today capacities allow to produce more than 50 units of transport per year. We already have the technology for mass production. But the volume of production and the cost of the system depends on the availability of the order.
- What is your average salary in the enterprise?
- In machine-building enterprises - about
6000 UAH.
- How do you plan to produce technology in 2016?
- About 20 trams and at least 50-70 buses. As trolleybuses can not say.
- What are the financial results for the year will leave?
- This year, the turnover of Electron doubled. The group includes 15 companies. We sell special utility vehicles, ambulances. I very much support the decentralization: the local budgets have money to purchase equipment for their needs.
What will be the net profit, I can say in January, but I can see a daily summary of what we get out at a profit. The plan for 2016 - double the figures of 2015.
