Current condition of the passenger carriage fleet
FPC’s rolling stock varies by carriage type, age, and service equipment (about 74% are equipped with air conditioners, and approximately 60% with environmentally friendly toilets).
The average carriage age is a key metric showing the technical condition of a carriage fleet (as at 31 December 2018, the average age of FPC’s carriages was 17.7 years). In recent years, the average age of our carriages has been decreasing through massive retirement of carriages reaching the end of their life.
