The purchase of these vehicles, together with the recent acquisition of Metalloinvesttrans, which owns 8256 wagons, means Globaltrans has expanded its wagon fleet by 47% since the end of last year.

Globaltrans increased its freight volumes by 14% last year and now has a 5.6% share of the Russian railfreight market.
