The contract between “Demiryollary” OJSC and the Russian locomotive manufacturer “Bryansk Engineering Plant Management Company” JSC (part of the “Transmashholding” holding) for the supply of five units of the 2TE25KM brand diesel locomotive was signed in the summer of 2022.

The diesel locomotive 2TE25KM is the first diesel locomotive in Russia assembled from 90% Russian-made components, and is considered a product of import substitution. Specifications allow 2TE25KM to drive a train weighing up to 6,4 thousand tons.
