In 2018, VAMAV Vasúti Berendezések Kft., a joint subsidiary of MÁV Hungarian State Railways Private Limited Company and voestalpine Railway Systems, was chosen as a turnout supplier of Hungary’s first tram-train project. In 2021, the construction work was completed and the operation is expected to start in September 2021.  

From the standpoint of a wheel, the crossing area of a turnout can be characterized as an uneven transition area. With rigid frogs, the components in this confined region are subject to high stresses when the wheel transfers through the gap in the “throat” of the frog from wing rail to block tip and vice versa. The newly developed Ultra High Performance Crossing (UHPC) from voestalpine Turnout Technology Germany GmbH provides a remedy for this issue.

PJ Messtechnik GmbH and voestalpine Track Solutions Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of voestalpine Railway Systems, the global leader for railway infrastructure system solutions, are pooling their respective core competencies in rail maintenance of urban transport systems under a new service for customers.

Wear and damage continuously impair the service life of rail in light rail systems. It is therefore necessary to counteract these effects with customized maintenance measures in order to avoid premature rail replacement. Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft mbH (AVG) already relies on the mobile rail milling service of voestalpine Railway Systems.

In 2020, voestalpine Railway Systems was chosen as a supplier of the very prestigious project in the United Arab Emirates – Etihad Rail Stage 2 - the 605km extension of the federal rail network. The new railway network will link Ghuweifat on the border with Saudi Arabia to Fujairah and Khorfakkan on the UAE’s east coast.
