Manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock

NACE v2.1 Code: C30.20

About manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock

NACE code 30.20 covers the manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock, a critical industry that supports the transportation infrastructure and logistics networks essential for economic development. This sector plays a vital role in facilitating the movement of goods and passengers, contributing to the efficient functioning of 49.10 Transportation via railways and other related industries.

Production process

The manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock involves complex engineering and production processes. Key steps include the fabrication of structural components, the assembly of mechanical and electrical systems, and the integration of specialized equipment such as braking systems, traction motors, and control systems. Advanced manufacturing techniques, including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are commonly employed to ensure precision and quality.

Production inputs

The industry relies on a range of raw materials, including steel, aluminum, and various composite materials, as well as a variety of mechanical and electrical components. Specialized machinery, such as welding equipment, metal-forming presses, and assembly lines, are essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce with expertise in areas like mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and industrial design.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are railway locomotives, passenger coaches, freight wagons, and other rolling stock. These products are then consumed by 49.10 Transportation via railways and other transportation-related industries, supporting the movement of goods and people across local, regional, and national networks.
