Hungary’s Acemil on Friday evening said it has signed a cooperation agreement with Chinese rolling stock maker CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive.
The agreement extends to the procurement of locomotives and the joint creation of production capacities in Hungary, Acemil said in a statement. The sides agreed to set up four joint centres in Hungary for rolling stock production, maintenance, railway education and R+D.
Acemil said it had previously also reached an agreement with CRRC Shandong, the world’s leading rail freight wagon manufacturer, on the joint assembly and production of freight wagons in Hungary.
