According to Mining News Pro -According to Mr. Mohammad Amin Yousefzadeh, Director of Rolling Engineering in ESCO “We were totally dependent on the competence and knowledge of Iranian experts in the manufacture of these UIC60 rails. The company is ready and has the capacity for launching the rail’s mass production”.

Mr. Yousefzadeh added "In the production of the UIC60 rails, we have fully utilized the internal capability and managed to produce this important product with the power and expertise of the manpower.

He said due to the U33 production experience in Jul’18, the process of starting this profile of UIC60 rails and its production happened in shortest possible time. Although the second stage of testing of this profile is due and it will be done shortly in order to match the standard requirements of DIN EN 13674-2011.

Islamic Republic of Iran Railways and ESCO signed an agreement in July 2014 for the production of UIC60 rails, with the delivery deadline set for September 2015. ESCO missed the deadline and no new developments took place until late 2016 when the company launched its new rail production line in cooperation with the German Kuttner Company. UIC60 rails are capable of supporting high-speed trains.
