/PRZOOM - Newswire/ - The economic recession has caused a dramatic decrease in rail freight traffic volumes in Russia.

London, United Kingdom, 06/29/2009 – While Russian rail operators have diversified their freight structure to preserve their market positions, some of the key rail manufacturers have partially halted production.

"If Russia continues its plans towards implementing high-speed transportation, its lack of experience in construction and maintenance will lead to cooperation and joint ventures with the leading global rail vehicle manufacturers," observes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Olha Kryvetska.

To provide decision makers with a comprehensive overview of the Russian rail market, the Automotive & Transportation Group at Frost & Sullivan (transportation.frost.com) is pleased to announce it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on Wednesday 8 July at 4:00pm BST.

Highlights of the briefing will include a demand side analysis and the prospects of the Russian rail infrastructure development program. The analyst will also discuss emerging trends and forward projections for the Russian rail market.

The discussion will benefit logistic operators, rail vehicle manufacturers, and companies interested in expanding their business in the Russian market.
