In parallel, the company is preparing to enter the European market, as development of wagons for standard EU gauge is already underway. This move opens new export directions and enhances international economic cooperation.

Expanding the Wagon Product Line

At the end of 2024, the plant launched small-scale production of covered open wagons and fitting platforms. These wagons have passed testing and received positive feedback from transport operators.

To continue its growth, the company signed a contract in 2025 for the supply of a tank wagon production line. The first serial output is scheduled for the end of next year.

Export Potential and Wagon Production Growth

The Atyrau plant is focusing on technology and product diversity. By introducing new models, it expects to reach an annual production capacity of up to 7,000 wagons.

As demand for rail transport continues to grow, the company is timely expanding its portfolio and adapting its products to both domestic and foreign markets.
