Recently, vehicles loaded with domestically produced high-speed railway turnouts have departed from Qinhuangdao Port in Hebei Province, and the last batch of Moroccan high-speed turnouts has been successfully shipped. At this point, all 575 sets of overseas super large single turnout projects undertaken by China Railway Shanqiao have been delivered, and China's high-speed turnouts have officially completed the first system integration landing in Africa, injecting Chinese strength into the construction of high-end rail transit in Africa.

Take the most important overseas switch order

This cooperation is supported by the Ganitra to Marrakesh high-speed railway project in Morocco, which has a total length of 430 kilometers and a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour. It connects multiple core cities in Morocco and mainly serves the transportation guarantee work for the 2030 Morocco World Cup. It is expected to be officially opened by the end of 2029. This 575 group turnout project is the largest single contract project won by domestic turnout enterprises overseas. It will be shipped in four batches, and the first 80 groups of turnouts will be successfully shipped out in November 2025. The first batch of turnouts will be laid locally in April 2026, and the equipment will operate smoothly. The representative of the project owner stated that the domestic switch supply is stable and of excellent quality, effectively ensuring the construction progress of the project.

Full chain output of hardcore strength

This export breaks the previous single product output mode and realizes the integrated output of the entire chain system including switch technology, manufacturing, quality control, and local procurement. The project relies on independent intelligent manufacturing equipment and complete processes, paired with exclusive machining tools, to achieve standardized CNC production of rail components, meeting the high stability and smoothness requirements of high-speed rail operation. Equipped with self-developed AI detection system, laser scanning, and deep learning technology, it accurately controls product defects. The integrated assembly transportation method improves on-site assembly efficiency by 30% and shortens construction period by 15%.

Chinese rail technology travels around the world

As a benchmark in the domestic turnout industry, China Railway Shanqiao has been deeply involved in turnout manufacturing for a century and continues to promote the development of China's rail transit technology overseas. From the landing of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway in Southeast Asia, the entry of the Hungary Serbia railway into Europe, to the deepening of the African market, domestic high-speed turnout complete sets of technology continue to go abroad. Relying on the dividend of the the Belt and Road Initiative, China's rail transit smart manufacturing program continues to be exported overseas, helping countries improve transport infrastructure, and contributing Chinese wisdom to global high-speed rail construction.Editor/Min Jing
