Last week we shared about the 15-year anniversary of our Lokomotiv Kurastyru Zauyty (LKZ) plant in Astana. Between its most distant points, #Kazakhstan measures about 1,820 miles (2,930 kilometers) east to west and 960 miles north to south. Given that the country is land-locked, and with primarily desert and mountainous terrain, railways form a critical part of Kazakhstan’s transportation infrastructure. Did you know Wabtec Corporation has played a key role in the transformation of Kazakhstan`s rail industry over the past 20 years? Originally formed as a joint partnership with Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ), Wabtec acquired full ownership of the LKZ factory in December 2023. Since opening in 2009, LKZ has manufactured more than 550 diesel #EvolutionSeries diesel #locomotives for KTZ and several regional customers. “Since the LKZ factory manufactures locomotives for 1520-gauge operation, which is standard in Central Asia, we have exported to all countries in the region including Tajikistan, Mongolia, Moldova, Ukraine, etc. Now that LKZ is 100% owned by Wabtec, plans are on to expand the range of operations beyond the region as a supplier of components, systems and subsystems for our global operations,” says Gokhan Bayhan, Regional Senior Vice President, Operations - Central Asia Learn how Kazakhstan is poised to drive Wabtec’s growth in Central Asia: https://lnkd.in/e-fXsBD3 #TrainsOfThought #WorldOfWabtec #WabtecKazakhstan #WabtecLocomotive #WabtecFreightServices #LocomotiveModernizations #ExpandThePossible #PeopleFirst #WeAreWabtec

Earlier this month, our Lokomotiv Kurastyru Zauyty (LKZ) plant in Astana, #Kazakhstan marked 15 years of operations with an anniversary celebration. The plant, which counts 700 employees, began as a joint venture with Wabtec Corporation owning a 50% share. In 2023, Wabtec purchased the other 50% share, and LKZ is now a fully owned and operated facility within the Global Locomotive Operations group. Since 2009, LKZ has manufactured more than 550 #EvolutionSeries diesel locomotives for Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ), Kazakhstan’s national railway company, and several regional customers. In addition, about 400 units in KTZ's fleet were #modernized at LKZ, the most modern and efficient locomotive manufacturing facility in the region. Congratulations to the entire LKZ team on this milestone. #WabtecLocomotive #WabtecFreightServices #WabtecKazakhstan #Anniversary #Milestone #ExpandThePossible #OneWabtec #RevolutionizeTheWayTheWorldMoves

With more than half a century of electric drive systems excellence, and over one billion hours of operation worldwide, #WabtecMining has the largest fleet of rugged, field-proven AC drive systems in the world. Our AC electric drive systems offer lower operating costs and higher haul productivity over mechanical drives. They eliminate wearing components such as torque converters, drive shafts, transmissions, and differentials to reduce maintenance, improve truck availability and lower lifecycle cost. In addition, the system’s broader retarding envelope reduces cycle time and brake wear, and its higher gradeability allows for steeper hauls which helps to increase overall productivity. Visit our website to learn more about our complete line of AC drive systems, ranging from 150 to 400-ton capacity: https://lnkd.in/ePkzfcBg #ACElectricDriveSystems #ElectricMine #ExpandThePossible #Innovation #RevolutionizeTheWayTheWorldMoves
