In December 2014 a new factory for diesel engine manufacture was inaugurated in Kazakh capital - Astana Diesel Service (ADS).
Certification of the Class TE33A Evolution diesels in Russia was a prerequisite for the sale of this type to most countries with 1,520 mm gauge networks.
On 17 January 2018, during the then Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev’s visit to the USA, KTZ and GE Transportation signed a contract for 300 diesel shunters. Final assembly was announced to take place at the LKZ works.
In our article about Prima locomotives we described problems at orders of electric locomotives from EKZ. But similar problems concern also KTZ orders of Tulpar Talgo and LKZ, both factories based in Nur-Sultan. Of the Evolution diesel locomotives, which are manufactured at the latter site, only part of the initially planned numbers were built so far.
In October 2010 KTZ, Alstom and TMH signed a contract for 295 25 kV 50 Hz electric locomotives to be delivered by 2020.
