New project for Russian aluminium wagons
In September 2008 the government signed a program for reconstruction of railway transport. Twenty million wagons and one hundred
thousand carriages are to be replaced over a twenty year period at a budgeted cost of 11.7 trillion rubles (311 billion euros).
The new project has no analogue in Russia, says Vladimir Kozhukhov, the chairman of board of directors of aluminium producers,
Energotechmash. “The first aluminium wagon will be constructed in Zhigulevsk. We have already designed four variants of aluminium wagons
and have created a principal scheme for an assembly plant for aluminium wagons with the capacity of nine wagons per 24 hours. We have
chosen a site in Zhigulevsk (in the Samara region, approximately 850 kilometres east and slightly south of Moscow) and have calculated a
production scheme and investment requirement equivalent to 632 million euros. One wagon will cost around 36 million rubles, which is a little
less than 1 million euros. At the same time we plan to create a technical park around the assembling plant, which will consist of factories
producing filler structures, brake systems, and air conditioning systems for wagons as well as electronics and other related parts. The first
aluminium wagon will see the world as early as end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011.”
