HS v2022 Code: 860729

About railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock; parts, brakes (other than air brakes) and parts thereof

HS code 860729 covers a crucial segment of the transportation industry, encompassing railway or tramway locomotives, rolling stock, and their associated parts and brakes (excluding air brakes). This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, facilitating the efficient movement of goods and people across vast distances through reliable and sustainable rail infrastructure.

Production process

The production of railway or tramway locomotives, rolling stock, and their components involves a complex manufacturing process. It typically begins with the fabrication of individual parts, such as frames, wheels, and braking systems, using specialized metalworking techniques like casting, forging, and machining. These components are then carefully assembled, often with the aid of advanced automation and robotics, to create the final products. 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 or tramway equipment requires a range of raw materials, including steel, aluminum, and various alloys, as well as specialized components like electrical systems, hydraulic mechanisms, and advanced control systems. Manufacturers also rely on a skilled workforce, advanced machinery, and a robust supply chain to ensure the timely and efficient production of these critical transportation assets.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 860729 are railway or tramway locomotives, passenger and freight cars, and a wide variety of parts and components for these systems. These outputs are essential inputs for the 860110 Railway or tramway passenger coaches, not self-propelled, 860120 Railway or tramway goods vans and wagons, not self-propelled, and 860310 Self-propelled railway or tramway coaches, vans and trucks, powered from an external source of electricity industries, among others, which are responsible for the final assembly and deployment of complete rail transportation solutions.
