About railway or tramway locomotives; parts n.e.c. in heading no. 8607

hs code 860791 covers the classification of railway or tramway locomotives and their parts, which are not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.) under heading 8607. This industry plays a crucial role in the transportation infrastructure, enabling the efficient movement of goods and passengers across vast distances. As a key component of the broader rail industry, the production and maintenance of these locomotives are essential for the smooth functioning of national and international supply chains.

Production process

The production of railway or tramway locomotives involves a complex manufacturing process. It typically begins with the fabrication of the locomotive's frame, which serves as the foundation. Specialized machinery is then used to assemble the various components, including the engine, transmission, and braking systems. Advanced welding techniques and precision engineering are employed to ensure the structural integrity and performance of the final product. The assembly process often involves the integration of electronic control systems and other advanced technologies to enhance the locomotive's efficiency and safety.

Production inputs

The production of railway or tramway locomotives requires a range of raw materials, machinery, and other resources. Key inputs include steel, aluminum, and other metals for the frame and components, as well as specialized engines, electrical systems, and control mechanisms. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines, welding tools, and testing facilities, to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is essential for the successful production of these complex transportation systems.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 860791 is the railway or tramway locomotives themselves, which are then used in various transportation applications. These locomotives can be powered by diesel, electric, or other energy sources, and are designed to haul both passenger and freight trains. The output of this industry is closely linked to the demand for 860700 Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock; parts & accessories thereof and 860400 Railway or tramway passenger coaches, not self-propelled; luggage vans, post office coaches & other special purpose railway/tramway coaches, as these complementary products are essential for the overall rail transportation system.

Revisions to 860791

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 860791. The most recent 1 version of this code (860791) is in the HS v2022 system:
