Railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts, air brakes and parts thereof

HS v2022 Code: 860721

About railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts, air brakes and parts thereof

HS code 860721 covers a critical component of the global transportation infrastructure - railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock. This industry plays a vital role in the efficient movement of goods and people, supporting economic growth and development across various sectors. As a key part of the broader transportation and logistics ecosystem, the products under this code are essential for the seamless operation of rail-based transportation systems worldwide.

Production process

The production of railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock involves a complex manufacturing process. It typically begins with the fabrication of the main structural components, such as the locomotive body, chassis, and wheel assemblies. These components are often produced through metal forming, welding, and machining techniques. The assembly process then integrates various subsystems, including the propulsion system, brakes, electrical systems, and interior fittings, to create the final product. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.

Production inputs

The production of railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock requires a range of specialized inputs, including 720721 Alloy steel, 840999 Parts of engines and motors, 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases for electric control or the distribution of electricity, and various electronic components. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as 846229 Machines for working metal by removal of material, other than lathes, to shape and assemble the complex components. Skilled labor, engineering expertise, and a robust supply chain are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 860721 are railway and tramway locomotives, passenger coaches, freight wagons, and other rolling stock. These products are then consumed by 860110 Rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity, 860120 (Rail locomotives powered by electric accumulators (batteries)), 860210 Diesel-electric locomotives, and 860310 Self-propelled railway or tramway coaches, vans and trucks, other than those of heading 86.04, among other related industries. The efficient transportation of goods and people enabled by these outputs is a critical component of the global supply chain and economic development.
