Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that the production of the National Electric High Speed Train Set, one of Turkey's most important projects in the field of rail systems, has begun. These train sets, which can reach speeds of 225 kilometers per hour, will create a major transformation in Turkey's transportation infrastructure. Thanks to their high-speed capacity, they will significantly reduce intercity travel time and offer citizens a comfortable and safe travel experience.
Domestic Production and Technological Equipment
The train sets produced within the scope of the project will have a 65% local content rate. Uraloğlu stated that the sets were designed with aluminum bodies and will consist of eight vehicles. The 584-passenger capacity train sets will be equipped in accordance with modern transportation standards. The trains will have a train control and monitoring system, automatic train stopping system, electromechanical passenger entrance doors, fully automatic air conditioning, fire alarm system, audio and visual passenger information systems and camera systems to ensure passenger comfort and safety.
Turkey's Goals in the Railway Field
The National Electric High Speed Train Set Project will make a significant contribution to Turkey's localization goals in the railway sector. With the studies carried out under the leadership of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Turkey aims to increase its competitive power both in the domestic market and internationally. Minister Uraloğlu stated that this project will not only support transportation but also the development of the domestic industry.
Comfort and Safety are at the Forefront of Your Journey
Thanks to its advanced hardware features, the National Electric High Speed Train Sets will offer passengers a high-standard travel experience. Equipped with passenger information and security systems, these modern trains will make a major contribution to the strengthening of Turkey's railway network. With the project planned to be completed in the coming years, Turkey will have made an important step in high-speed train technology.
