CPC v2.1 Code: 495

About railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock, and parts thereof

cpc code 495 covers the industry responsible for the production and maintenance of railway and tramway locomotives, rolling stock, and their associated parts. This industry plays a vital role in the transportation infrastructure of many countries, enabling the efficient movement of goods and passengers across vast distances. As a key component of the broader transportation and logistics sector, the railway and tramway industry contributes significantly to the overall economic activity and development of the regions it serves.

Production process

The production of railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock involves a range of specialized manufacturing techniques. This includes the fabrication of metal components, the assembly of complex mechanical systems, and the integration of advanced electronic and control systems. Skilled workers, specialized machinery, and rigorous quality control processes are essential to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production inputs

The railway and tramway industry relies on a variety of raw materials, including steel, aluminum, and other metals, as well as specialized components such as engines, brakes, and electrical systems. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, as well as access to advanced manufacturing equipment and facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 495 are the locomotives, passenger and freight cars, and other rolling stock used in railway and tramway transportation systems. These products are then consumed by 491 Railway or tramway passenger transportation and 492 Other land transportation, as well as by companies and organizations responsible for the operation and maintenance of rail infrastructure.
