Atyrau Railcar-Building Plant Becomes the First in the Republic of Kazakhstan to Launch Full-Cycle Production of Tank Cars

The KazCTT Engineering Center has developed new models of a classic design with improved technical characteristics, setting records within the 1520-mm gauge area. The LPG tank car model 15-3234 features a tank volume of more than 88 m³ with no restrictions on the range of LPG cargoes transported. The oil and gasoline tank car model 15-3237 has a tank volume of more than 90 m³ and a payload capacity of 70 tonnes, which is 4% higher than that of the closest analogues. Both models demonstrate industry-leading metal efficiency, which reduces production costs and enables the introduction of competitive, Kazakhstan-manufactured products to the market.

Serial production is scheduled to begin in early 2026. The primary customer for the LPG tank cars will be TEXOL Transport Company, a leading LPG transportation company in Kazakhstan and Central Asia and the largest owner of an LPG tank car fleet in the region.
