Manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock

NACE v2.0 Code: C30.2

About manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock

NACE code 30.2 covers the manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock, a critical component of the transportation infrastructure. This industry plays a vital role in the movement of goods and people, supporting economic growth and development across various sectors. As a highly specialized and capital-intensive industry, the manufacture of railway equipment requires advanced engineering, precision manufacturing, and a skilled workforce.

Production process

The production of railway locomotives and rolling stock involves a complex process that combines metalworking, assembly, and specialized testing. Key steps include the fabrication of structural components, the installation of propulsion systems, the integration of electrical and electronic systems, and the final assembly and testing of the complete unit. Manufacturers utilize advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies to optimize the production process and ensure the quality and reliability of the final products.

Production inputs

The manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock requires a range of raw materials, including steel, aluminum, and other metals, as well as specialized components such as engines, brakes, and control systems. Manufacturers also rely on advanced machinery and equipment, including CNC machines, welding equipment, and specialized testing facilities. Additionally, this industry requires a highly skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to design, build, and maintain the complex railway equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 30.2 are railway locomotives, passenger coaches, freight wagons, and other rolling stock. These products are essential for the 49.1 Passenger rail transport, interurban and 49.2 Freight rail transport industries, as well as for the 52.21 Service activities incidental to land transportation sector, which includes the maintenance and repair of railway infrastructure.
