The company expects to produce 3,000 more vehicles by the end of 2012 and thus to set the record of 28,000 units.

In terms of railway vehicles production, special attention is paid to the reliability and safety of molded pieces; in order to ensure these characteristics, quality-improvement measures are taken on a regular basis.
