Hitachi Rail has signed a framework agreement with Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) to design and deliver digital signaling of Bettembourg and Dudelange stations on the Luxembourg railway network.

This agreement with the national railway company of Luxembourg marks the latest milestone in a long-term partnership with Hitachi Rail aimed at modernizing the country’s railway infrastructure. As part of this framework, Hitachi Rail will be responsible for the development, project planning, delivery, installation, and commissioning of interlocking systems featuring ETCS Level 1 Full Supervision and simplified trackside light signaling for the modernization of Bettembourg and Dudelange stations on the Luxembourg railway network.

The new signaling system will enable digital communications between the track and the train, enhancing reliability while safely increasing capacity on the track.

"This contract signing is a decisive step in our growth strategy," emphasizes Markus Fritz, Chief Operating Officer for Germany at Hitachi Rail. "We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with CFL and working together to set new standards that offer our customers and partners real added value. Our digital signaling solutions will help to increase reliability and capacity for passengers using the Bettembourg and Dudelange stations in Luxembourg."

Luxembourg plays a key role in European rail transport, acting as a crucial hub for cross-border transport and connecting important markets in Germany, France, and Belgium.
