Vossloh to supply railway project in Tanzania
Turnouts and fastening systems for new line

Vossloh is supplying turnouts and fastening systems for the construction of a new railway line in Tanzania. The route will connect the city of Dar es Salaam on the east coast with Lake Victoria in the interior of the country. Vossloh has been awarded the contract for sections 3 and 4. The value of the contracts amounts to approximately 30 million euros.

The Makutupora-Tabora and Tabora-Isaka sections cover a distance of 424 kilometers. For these sections, Vossloh is supplying approximately 130 turnouts and 840,000 sleeper sets for rail fastening. The turnouts will be manufactured in Ystad, Sweden, while the fastening systems are delivered from Vossloh’s “Factory of the Future” in Werdohl, Germany.

The line is being built by the construction group Yapi Merkezi on behalf of the Tanzania Railways Corporation. It is part of a comprehensive project to establish an electrified standard-gauge rail system in Tanzania. The aim is to significantly reduce travel times and, in the long term, connect neighboring countries to strengthen regional trade.

“This ambitious rail project is a driver of development for East Africa,” says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG. “We are proud to contribute to this important undertaking.”
