About rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity

cpc code 49511 covers the industry of rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity. This industry plays a crucial role in the transportation sector, providing efficient and environmentally-friendly rail transport solutions. These electric locomotives are widely used in both passenger and freight rail operations, contributing to the overall efficiency and sustainability of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by designing the locomotive's frame and body, incorporating advanced engineering principles to ensure optimal performance and safety. The electrical systems, including the motors, control systems, and power supply, are then meticulously engineered and integrated into the locomotive's structure. Finally, extensive testing and quality control measures are implemented to ensure the locomotive meets all relevant safety and performance standards before being delivered to the end-user.

Production inputs

The production of rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity requires a range of inputs, including high-quality steel for the frame and body, specialized electrical components such as motors and control systems, and advanced software and computer systems for the locomotive's control and monitoring functions. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled engineering and manufacturing personnel to design, assemble, and test these complex machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 49511 Rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity industry is, of course, the electric rail locomotives themselves. These locomotives are then consumed by 49100 Rail transport services, where they are used to power passenger and freight rail operations. The electric locomotives produced under this code may also be used in other rail-based transportation applications, such as 49201 Urban and suburban railway transportation, 49202 Other passenger land transport, and 49311 Freight rail transport.
