Current Condition of the Passenger Carriage Fleet

FPC operates highly diverse rolling stock:

  • Carriages of different types and ages (average age: about 17 years)
  • Average wear: approximately 55 %
  • Over 80 % of carriages are equipped with air conditioning units
  • Approximately 75 % of carriages are equipped with environmentally friendly toilet facilities

The average carriage age, a key metric showing the technical condition of a carriage fleet, was 17.3 years as at 31 December 2020. In recent years, the average age of our carriages has been decreasing through massive retirement of carriages reaching the end of their life.
