Russian plant ousts imports: production of electric drives grows to 3,200 units per year

Bryansk "Thermotron-Plant" has automated the production of key components for railway transport and the metro. This will reduce imports in the segment from 30 to 20% and increase its own production.

The company has switched to the expanded production of point electric drives and throttle transformers - key elements of signaling, centralization and blocking systems that are responsible for the safety of train traffic.

Thanks to modernization, the company will increase the production of modern types of point electric drives by almost a third - up to 3,200 units per year. The production of throttle transformers will double and reach 600 pieces annually. This will reduce the share of imports in the Russian market segment from 30 to 20%.

"Thermotron-Plant" is the only Russian manufacturer of point electric drives for high-speed traffic. The equipment ensures the operation of Sapsan trains and is supplied to the subways of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Russian Railways. Some of the products are exported to the CIS countries and Mongolia. Localization is 100%, only domestic materials are used.

The volume of investments in the modernization of Bryansk production amounted to 177 million rubles. Of these, 116 million were provided by the Industrial Development Fund under the preferential program "Component Products".
