- High fleet efficiency with further improved Empty Run Ratio resulting in reduced Empty Run Cost that would return journeys with no return cargo circa 37%.
- Average Price per Trip up 20% year on year to RUB 34,790, reflecting the steady recovery in the gondola segment. Price increase of this magnitude, unlikely to be repeated.
