Vossloh has again been commissioned to supply rail fastening systems for selected sections of two high-speed lines under construction in central China. One line is almost 300 kilometers long and is to link Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province, and the automotive stronghold of Shiyan in Hubei province. The other line is about twice as long and, once completed, will noticeably shorten the journey between the megacities of Chongqing and Wanzhou in central China.

Vossloh Fastening Systems China Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Vossloh AG based in Kunshan, will again be responsible for the execution. Deliveries are scheduled for the second half of 2024.

The high-speed rail network in China is being expanded at great speed: It is to be extended from around 42,000 kilometers at present to more than 70,000 kilometers in 2035.
