Hitachi Rail has signed a framework agreement with Luxembourg’s Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) to provide digital signalling systems at Bettembourg and Dudelange stations.
This collaboration aims to modernise the signalling infrastructure within Luxembourg’s railway network.
Under the agreement, Hitachi Rail will design, plan, deliver, install, and commission interlocking systems with European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 1 Full Supervision and simplified trackside light signalling.
This technology upgrade will enable improved digital communication between tracks and trains, enhancing operational reliability and allowing for increased rail capacity.
“This contract signing is a decisive step in our growth strategy. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with CFL and working together to set new standards that offer our customers and partners real added value. Our digital signalling solutions will help to increase reliability and capacity for passengers using the Bettembourg and Dudelange stations in Luxembourg.”
As a strategic transport hub connecting Germany, France, and Belgium, Luxembourg’s railway network is critical to European cross-border freight and passenger travel. The modernisation of Bettembourg and Dudelange stations supports CFL’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and efficiency across its network, reinforcing Luxembourg’s role in European rail transport.
