Kazakhstan to Fully Modernize Passenger Rail Fleet by 2030
Kazakhstan plans to completely renew its passenger railcar fleet by 2030, aiming to improve travel comfort, safety, and efficiency, reported the Samruk Kazyna Fund.
The first 51 railcars, produced at the domestic Stadler Kazakhstan plant in Astana, are scheduled for delivery by December. These modern wagons feature advanced ergonomics and engineering solutions to enhance passenger experience.
By 2030, a total of 557 new railcars will join the fleet, with an additional 100 wagons to be purchased from the ZIKSTO plant. Between 2022 and 2025, Kazakhstan Temir Zholy has already added 255 new passenger railcars and 18 electric trains, marking significant progress in the modernization of the national rail infrastructure.
