DUBLIN – (BUSINESS WIRE) – The report “Rail transport and production of locomotives and vehicles in South Africa 2021” has been added ResearchAndMarkets.com Offer.

This report focuses on freight and passenger transport and the manufacture of railroad locomotives and rolling stock. It contains comprehensive information on Transnet, Prasa, and Gautrain, including financial performance, infrastructure development, and governance and supply chain issues.

Rail transport and manufacturing of locomotives and vehicles in South Africa:

The rail industry was plagued by aging infrastructure and governance issues before the coronavirus pandemic broke out. The industry continued to be affected by a decline in rail freight and passenger volumes, as well as revenue due to lockdown restrictions.

The poor economy has resulted in lower production with less freight to transport, which has resulted in lower expansion investment and a reduction in the demand for additional vehicles for freight transport. The state-owned Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) and Transnet, which dominate the sector, are suffering from the aftermath of the legacy of bad governance and procurement irregularities, which are being investigated by the special investigative unit and appearing on the Inquiry into the State Department.

The government’s proposed open access to the rail network for private sector investment should improve competitiveness and improve the efficiency of the sector.

Prasa and Transnet:

In December 2019, the Minister of Transport dismissed Prasa’s interim board member and acting CEO and put the company into administration.

A permanent board was appointed in October 2020. Prasa’s operational problems include idle fleets and train shortages, the deteriorating condition of rail vehicles and infrastructure, a decline in the number of scheduled trains, delays and cancellations of trains.

Transnet’s 2020 performance was affected by the deterioration in economic conditions, the reduction in the volume of transport by rail, increased security incidents, adverse weather conditions and poor rail network conditions in some key corridors. The interim results for 2021 reflect a significant decline in sales and volumes as a result of the lockdown.

There are profiles of 31 companies, including Transnet and Prasa, suppliers such as Siemens, ABB and Actom, and logistics companies such as SAFreight Logistics.
