Russian Locomotives Have High “Local Component Content” - Valinsky

Russian locomotives are largely made of Russian components, the RZD-Partner quotes OAO RZD Vice President Oleg Valinsky. Russian components are as good as components made outside of the country, he added.

For example, the 2ES5K Ermak DC electric locomotives hold only 2% of “foreign content”, the Donchak and Sinara AC electric locos hold 3.6% and 4.6% of “foreign content”, respectively.
