In Russia, they are searching for replacements for foreign spare parts for local manufacturers

The report by FPK for the year 2022 indicates that this year a list of 1,231 imported goods that need to be replaced due to sanctions has been compiled, according to the railway journal Railway Supply, citing Rollingstock.

• Analogues have been developed for 702 items (57% of the total) in the design documentation.
• Analogues have been identified for 494 items (40% of the total), but their use requires changes to the design documentation.
• 35 units (3% of the total) are in the “red” zone, meaning components and their analogues have not yet been identified.

The majority of items consist of electronic, radio, and electrical equipment, amounting to 21 units.

Additionally, the list includes other components and materials such as components for environmentally friendly toilet complexes, lubricants, body equipment (stainless steel profiles), components for sliding doors (toothed belts), components for zero-clearance coupler BSU-TM136.

However, it is emphasized that the mentioned goods are currently available in suppliers’ warehouses within the territory of the Russian Federation, ensuring uninterrupted transportation…

Stronger sanctions are needed because the Russian railway system directly supplies weapons and troops to the territory of Ukraine.
