Production program

The Lostr a.s. Company produces mainly freight cars and it specializes in railway cars and locomotives modernization and repairs.

Production of new types of vehicles

Majority of new investments, e.g. blasting stations, varnishing boxes, power brakes, oxy-cutting machines, welding aggregates etc., are designated for the freight cars production. In the human resources area the design department is the one that is reinforced the most, because it allows the fastest and most professional reaction to the customers’ requirements. The railway wagons production can be split into three categories. Select the one you are most interested in:

Repairs, inspections and modernization

We offer our employees high-quality and reliable services, especially because this activity is our traditional activity and it employs a great number of our experienced colleagues. In case of capacity discrepancies, one area can complement the other one rather well. We try to have majority of our employees trained both in new wagons production and in machinery maintenance. Our modernization always reacts to our clients’ requirements and specifications, in both technical and commercial aspects in compliance with the relevant standards.

Production program

The railway car repair shops privatization in the CR was accelerated by dramatic transportation reduction in the then federation, therefore by drastic reduction of repairs in such companies. New owners were supposed to take care of the companies and of the employees and according to their abilities, ensure the company success or failure. It was necessary to find a new substitute program very soon. The decisive topics during the time period of looking for a new program for LOSTR a.s. were: freight cars knowledge, welded structures knowledge (turning platforms and transverse tables) and available technologic equipment. The first orders were for production of parts of the vehicles, in particular of nose compartments, side-sills and frames.

Therefore, all the employees could absorb ever new knowledge gradually, in particular western experience, standards and requirements on designs. As a preparatory stage for introduction of own final products, this time period was irreplaceable. At the present time the Company profile has been completed and, in particular, it offers two activities: new railway cars production, freight cars especially and repairs and inspections of railway vehicles, again mainly of freight cars.
