Ural Locomotives is a railway engineering company. It was initially formed as a joint venture between Sinara Transport Machines and Siemens in 2010. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Siemens exited Russia in May 2022, with Sinara Group taking full control a month later.[1]
The manufacturing facilities are based at the Ural Railway Engineering Plant in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, which was incorporated into the Sinara Group in 2004.[2]
In October 2004, the plant began collaboration with RZD with the aim of production of electric freight locomotives.[3]
