Could the Budapest subway become a shelter?.Gergely Karácsony, the Lord Mayor of Budapest, asked BKV to look into all alternative procurement options. However, domestic and other sources and delivery options are constantly being explored and sought. Items made according to special Russian standards are manufactured only in Russia.Īccording to BKV, there is currently no need to fear public transport being shut down, writes portfolio.hu. Already at the time, the team of experts drew attention to the fact that the Russian manufacturer is in a monopoly position. The failure rate during the aforementioned study was 15 per cent, while 84 per cent of the vehicles are required for the normal operation of the system. In 2019, BKV sued MWM, but the Russian company has not even accepted the legal documents in the last two years. In addition, experts found that Russian vehicles are particularly in need of maintenance.

Poor-quality Russian vehiclesĮxperts have identified 18 serial faults in the poor-quality Russian vehicles in a 2020 independent report. The stocks are enough for a few months, but the supply is uncertain. Storage is expensiveįor this reason, it is not customary to stock up on various parts for many years to come. After all, the same factory also produces war equipment, and the Russian government says it may be more important. The problem may be that the Russian factory may not even produce parts now.
It is not possible to know the exact time as it depends on the rate at which the parts need to be replaced. However, according to the Budapest Transport Company (BKV), the current supplies are sufficient for a maximum of a few months. The Russian invasion does not yet affect the maintenance and operation of the trains.
