“Uralvagonzavod is nearing completion of talks to establish a joint venture with Chinese manufacturers of bearings for wheel pairs of freight cars,” the source reports.

High demand for rolling stock emerged in the second half of 2016 making producers diversify supplies of spare parts and ramp up production.

In Russia, the only manufacturers of bearings are EPK Group and the localized production shop of SKF.
