Mining giant Rio Tinto is teaming up with Western Australia-based Gemco Rail to bring local iron ore rail car manufacturing and bearing maintenance to the Pilbara region. Rio Tinto plans to invest about A$150 million over six years in buying 100 domestically built ore rail cars.

Under the agreement, Gemco will produce the first 40 ore cars at its factory, with deliveries starting in 2024. Once the program is officially in operation, Gemco Rail expects to manufacture 10 ore cars per year. This plan will bring a new industry to Pilbara and create more job opportunities for local people.
