posted on 18th Mar 2026 07:30
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 km 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 km and is set to grow to over 70,000 km by 2035. The network expansion is linked to a preventive maintenance program that ensures high availability and long-term operational reliability.
