Last year, exports of domestic railway products expanded. Now diesel-electric locomotives produced in Kazakhstan are sent to Mongolia. These are the first four copies worth over $4 million each.

Six countries are already ordering our locomotives: Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.

In a diesel-electric locomotive, the engine drives either a DC electrical generator or an AC electrical generator-rectifier.

In Kazakhstan, diesel-electric locomotives are produced by two enterprises - Lokomotiv Kurastyru Zauyty JSC and Elektrovoz Kurastyru Zauyty LLP. The production capacity of each enterprise is 100 units of equipment per year.

For example, the capital’s enterprise “Electrovoz Kurastyru Zauyty” began to develop the railway market in 2010. The plant produces full-cycle locomotives and plays a leading role in the Central Asian mobility market.
