Vossloh supplies switches and rail fasteners for rail projects in Algeria

• Vossloh has won multiple tenders for Algerian rail network expansion program
• Order volume of about €59 million with deliveries until end of 2025
• Rail fasteners and switch systems are supplied

Werdohl, April 29, 2025. Vossloh is supporting the expansion of the Algerian rail network with the supply of both rail fasteners and switch systems. The series of orders that have been awarded to Vossloh during the last couple of months adds up to a total order volume of about €59 million.

Algeria is investing heavily in the expansion and modernization of its rail infrastructure. The network is to be expanded to around 15,000 kilometers by 2035, more than tripling its current length.

In the scope of the expansion program, Vossloh will deliver 300 switches until the end of the year. In addition, Vossloh will supply rail fastening systems for the country’s largest rail project. The new railroad line will connect the Ghar Djebilet Iron Ore mine in south-west Algeria with the processing plants in Tindouf and Béchar over a length of 950 km and enable passenger and freight transportation from there to the cities in the north. The project comprises three sections and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

“Algeria’s rail expansion program is impressive,” says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG. “We are delighted about the trust the customers have placed in us and the opportunity to once again contribute to modern and green mobility in Algeria.”
