CHINA: Vossloh has won an order to supply a HSG-2 high speed grinding train which will be used for preventive maintenance to ensure high availability and long-term operational reliability on the growing high speed rail network.
The train is to be built in Hamburg for delivery in summer of 2027.
Announcing the order on March 16, Vossloh said ‘within a decade, high speed grinding has become an integral part of maintenance in China and is already used by 12 of the 18 regional railway administrations. Last year, approximately 42 000 km of track were treated preventively, including heavily trafficked sections such as the Beijing – Shanghai line.’
