For the first time, a Chinese firm supplies Mozambique with cutting-edge internal combustion technology. This milestone strengthens Sichuan’s position in the global locomotive market this year.

Innovative Features of Mozambique Diesel Locomotives

CRRC Ziyang customizes the SDD1 units to excel in Africa’s tough operational environments effectively. Their technical team integrates lightweight designs and efficient cooling systems for performance.

Additionally, the locomotives feature a new corrugated louver structure and modular air intake units. An intelligent control system monitors and manages operations in real time for safety.

These upgrades ensure the SDD1 units deliver exceptional reliability and durability in Mozambique’s railways. Consequently, they support passenger services and freight shunting tasks efficiently.

Mozambique gains from this shipment as it enhances local transportation infrastructure significantly. Meanwhile, CRRC Ziyang celebrates a strong return to the African market with confidence.

Over 24 years, CRRC Ziyang serves nearly 20 African nations with reliable locomotives. Countries like Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo trust their expertise.

Globally, the company exports over 1,200 locomotives to 34 countries with great success. Their diesel locomotive exports lead China, accounting for over 50% of the total.

This achievement highlights CRRC Ziyang’s dominance in the international diesel locomotive industry today. Thus, the company drives innovation and excellence in rail transport solutions forward.

Each SDD1 locomotive reflects years of research and adaptive technology for African conditions. Because of this, Mozambique’s railway network gains a powerful boost in capacity.

CRRC Ziyang’s dedication to quality and performance shines through in this historic export. And so, China solidifies its reputation as a leader in locomotive manufacturing globally.
