Ukraine’s Railway Transport State Administration’s interdepartmental acceptance meeting was attended by the representatives of the locomotives division administration and the company’s development and technological policies department as well as officials from Lvov Railways, Dnipropetrovs’k National University for Railway Transport, and representatives of the manufacturing plant. They looked into the results of Sinara (2ES6) and Granit (2ES10) freight locos operation tests. The tests were carried out at Lvov Railways.

The testing took place between February 28 and March 28, 2012 in the particularly difficult railway sections in Karpaty. The Ural locos had earlier been certified for compliance with the Ukrainian normative documents under the UkrSEPRO system.

The acceptance committee came to the conclusion that Sinara and Granit locos can be operated at Ukrainian railways.
