A high-speed line is also planned between El Alamein and Mersa Matruh, which means that the scheduled double-track line will be approximately 660 kilometres long. Delivery of the rail fastening systems by Vossloh is scheduled to begin this year, with the completion of the project expected in 2024. The order, with a volume exceeding €40 million, will be carried out by subsidiary Vossloh Fastening Systems GmbH, which is headquartered in Werdohl.
Egypt plans additional massive investments in its rail network over the next few years, including in particular the establishment of a high-speed network which is to be expanded to over 1,800 km in the future.
