Iran Self-Sufficient in Manufacturing Rail Freight Wagons

With the manufacture of rail monoblock wheels and wagon breaks by local companies, Iran became 100% self-sufficient in producing cargo wagons, according to the minister of roads and urban development. 
“We plan to manufacture wagons and rail system parts in bulk and, apart from meeting domestic demand, gain a foothold in international markets in the near future,” Mohammad Eslami was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The official told the news portal of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development that the government aims to become self-sufficient in manufacturing passenger wagons.
The official said last year that in meeting domestic demand for wagons and locomotives, the government is giving priority to local manufacturers and their production capacity.
