Deutsche Bahn Awards Vossloh Contracts Over €100 Million for Rail Maintenance

Deutsche Bahn has entrusted Vossloh AG with contracts exceeding €100 million for the implementation of high-speed grinding and rail milling as pivotal technologies for future maintenance. This collaboration strengthens Vossloh's role as a comprehensive service provider for Deutsche Bahn.

The framework agreements include a two-year term for high-speed grinding covering at least 13,000 km annually, with options for extensions. Additionally, a four-year contract for rail and switch milling can be extended to six years. Rail milling addresses severe defects, while high-speed grinding prevents the onset of major issues, enhancing track life and availability.

Vossloh's CEO, Oliver Schuster, highlighted the efficient maintenance solutions provided by combining these technologies. The contracts align with Deutsche Bahn’s strategy to improve rail infrastructure quality and reliability, benefiting from reduced operating costs and enhanced safety.
