The task of consolidating car fleets remains relevant. In recent years, many technological and management solutions have been worked out in practice. This allowed us to form an understanding that the solution of this problem is possible through the implementation of a rental scheme that will concentrate the management of parks in one hand.

It is obvious that the Federal Cargo Company, as the largest operator with all the resources and competencies, should become a platform for the consolidation of parks. But in order to start this process, we need proactive decisions from the regulatory authorities. This is the liberalization of the carriage component or the establishment of a rational tariff corridor. In the absence of these tools, a work model that is effective in relation to technology will be non-market and uncompetitive.

So far, we cannot be satisfied with the level of development of landfill technologies. It is obvious that it is impossible to manage the transportation process within the boundaries of large polygons in manual mode. We need not just an automated, but a control system. In this regard, I would like to once again draw attention to the need to develop such an obviously complex project of a unified intelligent control system and automation of production processes in railway transport.

Such projects include the development of passenger traffic in the Moscow transport hub. It is based on services that are really in demand and provides for comprehensive financing from JSC “Russian Railways”, the federal budget and the funds of the city of Moscow. This is a large complex project, the experience of which can be used in the development of large agglomerations on the railway network.

Even more difficult are the tasks of achieving parameters that depend on the coherence of the actions of three or more business blocks of the holding. In order to ensure a break-even level in accordance with the financial plan approved by the government, it is necessary to reach the target figures for revenue. In this regard, although revenues are generated directly in the transport, logistics and passenger business blocks, the contribution of the infrastructure component, including its locomotive part, is largely decisive. At the same time, it is extremely important to ensure that the planned indicators are achieved by subsidiaries, interaction with which should also be carried out based on the priorities of joint development of business blocks.

There are still a lot of problems in the infrastructure complex, and first of all in the economy of the way. In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the management system in detail once again, identify its critical points, strengthen coordination and control over the processes of repair and maintenance of infrastructure in the regions.

Of course, a huge role in the issues of security and effective management in the new conditions belongs to the social block of the holding. The improvement of the system of recruitment and placement of personnel, the development of corporate training of managers and specialists in accordance with the requirements of the time should be continued.

According to these and other indicators of long-term development, the Board of Directors will evaluate the activities of the Russian Railways holding and make decisions on the implementation of its development strategy.

The formation of a full-fledged system of indicators linking customer orientation with the end-to-end processes of business units, responsibility for their execution will allow achieving a significant increase in the efficiency of the company’s activities, improving the quality of transport services and making a significant step in solving the strategic tasks set for Russian Railways.
