Chinese locomotives

Kazakhstan Railways will receive the first four locomotives from the Chinese China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation for testing their compliance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union. This was reported by the Deputy General Director of KTZ – Freight Transport, Vladimir Babichenko.

Earlier, Kazakhstan Railways and CRRC signed a framework agreement for the supply of 200 locomotives from China to Kazakhstan worth $1.3 billion.

In order for the Kazakh national carrier to be able to use Chinese locomotives for railway transportation throughout the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union, they must obtain a certificate of conformity within the framework of the EAEU.
