ANALYSIS OF THE INDICATORS OF THE DEPOT REPAIR OF PASSENGER CARS

The article presents the results of the analysis of the technical characteristics of passenger cars and the main indicators of depot repairs of passenger cars. The indicators of depot repairs of passenger cars on the Southern Railway by types and manufacturers of cars for the period from 2015 to 2020 were studied. The data analysis indicates that in the overall structure of the volume of depot repairs of passenger cars by type, compartment cars predominate, while interregional passenger cars have the smallest share. In the overall structure of the volume of passenger cars depot repairs by manufacturing enterprises, cars of the Kryukovsky Railway Car Building Works predominate, while the smallest share is made in Germany. The largest number of depot repairs were carried out for sleeping, compartment and interregional cars built by the Kryukovsky Railway Car Building Works. The age of the cars that underwent depot repairs during the period from 2015 to 2020 ranges 10 to 20 years. The age of the majority of non-compartment cars that underwent depot repairs during the specified period ranges 30 to 40 years. The analysis shows that the cost of depot repairs of a sleeping car built by the Tver Carriage Works is lower than the cost of depot repairs of a sleeping car built by the Kryukovsky Railway Car Building Works. The cost of depot repairs of German and Russian compartment cars is lower than the cost of depot repairs of a compartment car built by the Kryukovsky Railway Car Building Works. It was established that the cost of depot repairs of a compartment car built by the Kryukovsky Railway Car Building Works is lower, and the cost of an interregional car is higher than the cost of depot repairs of a sleeping car of the same manufacturer. The analysis shows an almost annual increase in cost over the period, which is due to an increase in material and labor costs.
