Vossloh to deliver rail fastening and switch systems for Morocco’s high-speed line

Vossloh, a railway technology provider, has secured a contract worth approximately €75m ($81.05m) with the Moroccan state railroad ONCF for a new high-speed rail line.

This line, spanning roughly 245km, will connect the cities of Casablanca and Marrakesh, enabling speeds of up to 320km/h and significantly reducing travel time between the two major cities.

Vossloh’s order includes the supply of switches and switch components valued at nearly €50m ($54.03m) by 2027 and rail fastening systems worth around €25m ($27.01m) by 2028.

These components are crucial for the development of the high-speed link, which is part of Morocco’s extensive rail network expansion plans.

Deliveries of the rail fasteners are set to commence this year, with the switch systems and components following in 2025.

The timeline is strategically planned to ensure the line section’s completion ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
