According to multiple reports, Iran is currently exporting rail parts and equipment to Europe[1][2][3][4]. Morteza Mollanejad, the chief executive of the Iranian Rail Equipment Manufacturing Company, confirmed that Iran is shipping rail equipment to European countries[1][3][4].
The European Union's exports of railway, tramway locomotives, rolling stock, and equipment to Iran reached $4.54 million in 2022, according to data from the United Nations[5].
This suggests that the trade of rail equipment between Iran and Europe is ongoing, despite economic sanctions and geopolitical tensions.
The ability of Iran to export rail equipment to Europe underscores the country's manufacturing capabilities in this sector and its efforts to maintain trade relationships despite challenges[1][3][4]. The exports also highlight the continued demand for rail infrastructure and components in Europe, which relies on imports to meet its needs.
