Hungarian Minister of Transport and Investment Dávid Vitézy stated on Sunday that MÁV had to deploy ten passenger carriages from the Austrian state railway company ÖBB for the summer season due to a shortage of functional air-conditioned InterCity carriages. Index.hu ↗
According to Vitézy, the problem is related to the collapse of the company Dunakeszi Járműjavító, where dozens of InterCity carriages are said to be standing idle. He claims that the company was driven into bankruptcy by Russian actors and entrepreneurs close to the NER system. The minister also indicated that the state would like to save the plant. Telex ↗
In posts on social media, Vitézy recalled that MÁV inherited problems with its carriage fleet from János Lázár. He described the deployment of the Austrian carriages as a solution meant to help summer rail transport. Over the weekend, he also addressed other transport topics, including the opening of a temporary exhibition at the Transport Museum and changes to train and bus connections toward the Mátra mountains.

Bertalan Havasi reacted to Vitézy's statements, accusing him of personal attacks and of having an inferiority complex. The dispute thus combined a technical problem with carriages, the state of the repair plant in Dunakeszi, and a political exchange between representatives of Hungarian public transport. Further developments will depend on whether the repair plant's capacity can be restored and the availability of air-conditioned carriages for domestic lines can be stabilized. Index.hu ↗
