In 2008 European Bearing Corporation (EPK) will increase delivery volumes of bearings to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) by more than one third under the strategic partnership agreement. The main purpose of the agreement is to cooperate in developing and manufacturing carriages with the increased axial load. In the nearest future EPK is going to satisfy UVZ's needs in carriage bearings almost at 100%.
The Long-Term Cooperation Agreement until 2015 was signed between two companies at the exhibition "Magistral-2007" last Friday. The subject of the agreement is the long-term cooperation between the parties thereto in the field of carriage engineering oriented at the Russian Railways JSC's demands which is the regulator of the domestic railway engineering market.
In particular, EPK and UVZ reached an agreement as to regular supplies of serial journal bearings of higher fidelity class and cassette-type tapered roller bearings for axle equipment of new model low-sided cars manufactured at Uralvagonzavod.
Moreover, one of the most important points of the agreement is the collaboration in creating new types of railway bearings which will be installed on the next-generation trucks with the increased axial load (up to 30 tons). Such bearings will be manufactured for Russian Railways JSC under the development program aimed to increase the railway vehicles carrying capacity.
