TRANSNET LOCOMOTIVES: 30 YEAR AVERAGE AGE
Posted on 05 February 2010
Transnet acting chief executive officer Chris Wells told Parliament’s portfolio committee on communications on 3 February that the country’s locomotives are on average 30 years old. Sapa quoted him saying that the fleet totals some 2,000: “We haven’t purchased a new locomotive for well over ten years, which has caused a lot of problems in performance”. However he said, “By the end of March 2011, some 10% of our rail fleet should be brand new. That is very significant for performance going forward.”
