Acceptance tests of the prototype hatch gondola car, the fitting platform, and the two-axle bogie with axial load have been successfully completed

Acceptance tests of the prototype hatch gondola car, the fitting platform, and the two-axle bogie with an axial load of 23.5 tons for approval to operate across the 1520 mm railway network have been successfully completed.

It should be noted that the tests were conducted over three months at railway equipment testing sites. Yesterday, the work of the acceptance commission at AVSZ was completed. During the commission’s work, the plant’s production capabilities were evaluated, confirming its readiness to manufacture railcars that meet all regulatory requirements.

“The commission’s final recommendation allows us to proceed with obtaining a conditional marking number from KTZ and, after receiving the certificate of conformity for each product, to start producing the pilot batch. This is very good news for our entire industrial group – it means we are closing the year according to plan and will be able to start production of the first serial batch of railcars in 2025,” said Boris Kharisovich Ziganshin, Head of the Texol Industrial Group.
