Kolomenskiy Locomotive Plant (Kolomenskiy Plant) is the largest manufacturer of railway locomotives in Russia. The plant began production in 1869 with a freight locomotive, one of the first in Russia. In the tsarist period before the Russian Revolution Kolomna was one of the very few manufacturers in Russia. During this period, 139 types of steam locomotives were designed. The company is now part of Transmashholding.
The main activities of the company are: design, production and service of diesel engines (medium-speed diesel engines and diesel generators for diesel locomotives, power plants, heavy trucks, ships), mainline locomotives (passenger and cargo), DC passenger electric locomotives.
Kolomna Plant is the only manufacturer of passenger locomotives in Russia, the creator of the first domestic examples of high-speed mainline passenger locomotives EP200 AC, passenger electric locomotives DC EP2K, freight locomotives 2TE70. The TEP70 passenger locomotives (along with the TEP70 and TEP70BS modifications) provide a significant part of passenger traffic on non-electrified sections of the railways of Russia and CIS countries. Kolomna Plant is Russia's largest supplier of medium-speed engines with a capacity of 450-5000.
The plant was founded in 1863 in Kolomna by military engineer Amand Struve under the name "Struve Brothers Machine-Building and Foundry Plant". It was the first plant for the production of steel bridge structures for railways. In the second half of the 19th century, the plant began to produce diesel locomotives, wagons, river boats and traction engines. In 1866, his brother Gustav joined the management of the enterprise, and the name of the enterprise was changed to the Struve Brothers Engineering Plant. In 1871, the name of the enterprise was changed to the Kolomna Machine-Building Plant. In 1935, the plant was named after Valerian Kuibyshev.
The Kolomna plant built Russia's first three-axle diesel locomotive of the T series (1870), the world's first motor ship with a diesel "Kolomenskiy Diesel" (1907) and the first serial Soviet diesel locomotive.
In the early years of Soviet power, the plant produced (in small quantities) diesel locomotives, wagons, trams and diesel engines. In 1931, the plant began production of diesel locomotives, and in 1932, together with the Dynamo plant, electric locomotives of the VL19 series.
Before the Second World War, the plant produced steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, diesel engines, tunneling shields for subways, turbines, tenders and condensers for steam locomotives. During the war, the plant provided for the needs of the front. He repaired tanks, built armored trains and produced ammunition. In 1943, the plant resumed production of steam locomotives and diesel engines. In November 1953, the plant produced a ten-thousandth diesel locomotive.
In 1956, the plant began mass production of diesel locomotives and diesel engines for locomotives, ships, submarines and diesel power plants. Passenger locomotives and TEP70 began to carry out the lion 's share of passenger traffic on non - electrified lines in Russia , Belarus and Kazakhstan .
The company carries out full technical preparation of production, including pre-design studies, design, manufacture, testing, experimental refinement of prototypes, technological and organizational and material preparation of production. Technological processes provide for various types of tests of both individual parts and assemblies, and products as a whole.
