Dalian Locomotive and Rolling Stock Company, a subsidiary company of CRRC Corp, announced it had signed a contract with Uzbekistan's national rail company for exporting locomotives, estimated to be worth 280 million yuan or 45 million US dollars, according to China News Service on Wednesday.

This is the second deal that Dalian Locomotive and Rolling Stock Company, the rail equipment manufacturing behemoth formed after the merger of CSR and CNR, has inked with Uzbekistan after the year of 2011, said the company. It will cooperate with China National Technical Import and Export Corporation (CNTIC) to close the deal.

With a maximum running speed of 120 km, these locomotives will be used for cargo transportation in Uzbekistan, the company said. Considering the extremely cold temperature in the winter, they will be equipped with a heating system, which can withstand the cold as low as below 30 degrees Celsius.

CRRC Corp said it will provide support for Uzbekistan in technologies, products and services and will conduct broad cooperation with the country to promote its upgrading of equipment and industry in the field of rail transportation.
