VOSSLOH’S LEADING LOGISTICS EXPERTISE ENABLES SUCCESSFUL MODERNIZATION OF THE BERLIN – HAMBURG HIGH-SPEED LINE IN RECORD TIME
Vossloh is one of the main players in the modernization of Deutsche Bahn's main transport lines. Deutsche Bahn has just successfully completed the comprehensive renewal of several track sections with a total length of around 193 kilometers on the Berlin-Hamburg high-speed line at a total cost of around €100 million. Vossloh supplied the pre-manufactured long rails with a total length of around 400,000 meters from its welding plants on a just-in-time basis and was responsible for the overall rail logistics. Since September 11, 2021, 34 long rail units have been working on the project in a logistical masterstroke, mainly at weekends and at night, in order to minimize the impact on traffic.
