Kazakhstan to electrify its rolling stock


Kazakhstan Railways (KTZ) receives a loan from the French bank Société Générale and Natixis to purchase 105 freight and passenger electric locomotives from manufacturer Electrovoz Kurastyru Zauyty (EKZ) in Astana, Kazakhstan. The relevant credit agreement was recently signed in Paris and deliveries are scheduled for 2023 to 2029.

 

The new locomotives will reduce the shortage of electric locomotives and ensure the provision of quality services to Kazakhstani shippers, KTZ said. EKZ is a JV of KTZ, French Alstom and Russian Transmashholding, founded in 2010. It specialises in the development and construction of electric locomotives. (ben)
