According to the head of the Department "Cars and car economy" JSC "VNIIZHT", Ph. D. Alexey Vasiliev, the growing demand for this type of rolling stock associated with the record high harvest of grain in the agricultural season 2016/2017, which has led to an increase in transportation of grain cargoes from the beginning of the year at 6%.
