Vossloh to deliver high-speed grinding train to China
Preventive maintenance technology established

China continues to count on high-speed grinding technology developed by Vossloh for the maintenance of its rail network and has placed an order for a new grinding train. The HSG-2 (High Speed Grinding) train will be built in Hamburg and is scheduled for shipment in the summer of 2027.

With this delivery, Vossloh is strengthening its role in the world’s largest high-speed rail network. 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 kilometers of track were treated preventively, including heavily trafficked sections such as the Beijing–Shanghai line.

China’s high-speed rail network spans approximately 50,000 kilometers and is set to grow to over 70,000 kilometers by 2035. The network expansion is linked to a preventive maintenance program that ensures high availability and long-term operational reliability.

“China demonstrates how effective preventive maintenance is in high-speed rail,” says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG. “The agreed delivery for capacity expansion confirms the great confidence in our technology.”
