Today, the “Rolling Stock” department organized a seminar on the topic “Eco-Technologies and Digitalization in the Production of Locomotives and Wagons in the Republic of Kazakhstan.” The event was attended by students of the “Rolling Stock Engineering” educational program, who presented their reports:
🔹 Vladislav Rybin (IPS (V)-23-1 group) – “Ecological Technologies and Digitalization in the Production of Locomotives and Wagons”
🔹 Artem Volodin (US-IPS-(E)-24-3p group) – “Design and Development of Eco-Friendly Engines for Diesel Locomotives in Kazakhstan”
🔹 Mukatay Kuanysh (US-IPS(E)-24-3p group) – “Electric Locomotives in the Republic of Kazakhstan”
The seminar was aimed at students and faculty members and focused on achieving key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
✅ SDG 7 – Expanding access to modern and environmentally friendly energy sources
✅ SDG 8 – Promoting sustainable economic growth and decent employment
✅ SDG 9 – Developing infrastructure, industrialization, and innovation
✅ SDG 12 – Implementing rational consumption and production models
Key topics discussed:
🔹 Environmental and economic effects of introducing new rolling stock
🔹 Modern approaches to the modernization and digitalization of railway transport
🔹 The impact of innovative solutions on sustainable development and the reduction of harmful emissions
Currently, Kazakhstan is actively developing eco-friendly technologies in the railway sector, with a particular focus on local production of rolling stock and the implementation of modern test sites utilizing domestic innovative developments. These measures contribute to adapting to climate change and minimizing the negative impact on the environment.
