The foundation is being prepared for a total rail revolution all over Turkey. New, conventional and high-speed routes are being created, and infrastructure is being greatly improved.
Currently, the nation is focusing on rolling stock as well, with billions of dollars in expenditures planned. Increased demand for freight trains and related rolling stock is partly due to Turkish railroad liberalisation.
Turkey is seeing a rise in demand for new train sets, rail cars, and waggons. Both tenders for brand-new locomotives and fleet modernization are covered by activity.
This is a multibillion dollar project that needs the engineering competence and knowledge of other countries to be completely realised.
The Turkey Rolling Stock Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Two Renfe trains will be used by Sun Tren’s Cappadocia Express, Turkey’s first private railroad company, for its upcoming sleeper service to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Cappadocia.
The two-year agreement asks for the leasing of two train sets, each consisting of 20 Talgo VII Series carriages, and was supported by the Investment Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey.
Sun Tren will perform maintenance, but the company is also in talks to include Talgo. Startup businesses and other new operations almost usually have to lease rolling stock or turn to the used market because of the high expenses associated with new rolling stock.
Turkish fleets of high-speed trains, urban rail vehicles like trams and metro cars, freight waggons, and locomotives are all being modernised at a cost of billions.
The nation’s railways are being improved as part of a comprehensive national transportation reform, therefore Turkish officials aren’t being frugal with this significant project.
The majority of tenders with an international focus are for high-speed trains. 106 new units will be purchased, 10 of which have already been done so.
The national rail operator of Turkey, TCDD, awarded a contract to Siemens to provide 10 Velaro units.
