埃及国家铁路公司ENR近日开始了西班牙Talgo公司制造的城际列车的商业运营。首批服务连接埃及首都开罗和亚历山大市。这一里程碑式的事件证实了该项目取得了令人满意的进展,该项目耗资约1.6亿欧元,提供六列车并对其进行为期八年的维护,其中还包括在埃及建造新的Talgo设施。
Talgo列车属于城际平台,该公司最近在德国和丹麦等国获得了合同,是埃及政府开展的铁路系统现代化进程中非常重要的一部分,是旨在实现经济关键部门脱碳的更广泛和更宏伟议程的一部分。
由于Talgo独有的机车车辆技术和铝制车体结构的轻便性,提供给埃及用于日间服务的城际列车提高了运力和服务质量,减少了每位乘客的能耗,从而最大限度地提高了效率,减少了环境影响。
先进的列车
该合同包括提供六列最高商业速度为160公里/小时、有490个座位的列车。每列车由一个机车和15个车厢组成,其中5节是头等车,8节是二等车,1节是餐厅和行动不便人士座车多功能车厢,还有一节技术车。
这些城际列车在Talgo位于阿拉瓦(西班牙)的工厂制造,并根据Talgo在麦加-麦地那线(沙特阿拉伯)的经验进行设计,拥有大功率冗余空调系统,并经认证可在高达50℃的温度下运行。它们还具有整个列车的车载WIFI平台,以及头等车的信息娱乐系统。
第二份合同:夜间服务
2022年8月,Talgo获得了第二份合同,制造另外7列客运列车,用于夜间服务,金额约为2.8亿欧元。
这个新的夜间列车项目将在Talgo位于西班牙阿拉瓦和马德里的工厂建造,以及在埃及布局的基地进行维护,为期15年。根据已经确定的计划,新列车将从2024年开始交付。

•The first train services connect Cairo and Alexandria starting this week
•The lightness of Talgo technology, key to maximizing energy efficiency
•It involves the first of two contracts awarded to Talgo in Egypt
Egypt’s national railway company ENR has started this week the commercial operation of the Intercity trains built by Talgo in Spain. The first services connect the Egyptian capital, Cairo, and the city of Alexandria. This milestone confirms the satisfactory progress of the project for the supply of six units and their maintenance for eight years, for c. 160 million euros, which has also involved the construction of new Talgo facilities in Egypt.
The Talgo trains, which belong to the Intercity platform with which the company has recently been awarded contracts in countries such as Germany and Denmark, are a very relevant part of the modernization process of the railway system undertaken by the Egyptian government as part of a broader and more ambitious agenda aimed at decarbonizing key sectors of the economy.
Thanks to the lightness of Talgo’s exclusive rolling stock technology and aluminum construction, the Intercity trains supplied to Egypt for daytime services increase capacity and service quality and reduce energy consumption per passenger, thus maximizing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.
State-of-the-art trains
The contract included the supply of six train units with a maximum commercial speed of 160 km/h and 490 seats. Each unit is made up of a locomotive and fifteen towed cars, five of them for first class, eight for second class, one mixed with cafeteria and seats for people with reduced mobility, and a technical car.
Manufactured in Talgo’s factory in Alava (Spain) and designed based on Talgo’s experience on the Mecca-Medina line (Saudi Arabia), these Intercity trains have high-power redundant air conditioning systems, and have been certified to operate at temperatures of up to 50ºC. They also feature an onboard WIFI platform throughout the train, and infotainment systems in the first-class cars.
Second contract: night services
In August 2022, Talgo was awarded a second contract for the manufacture of another seven passenger trains, in this case for night services, for an approximate amount of 280 million euros.
This new night trains project will include the construction of the new units in the plants of Alava and Madrid, in Spain, as well as their maintenance in the facilities that Talgo already has in Egypt, for a period of 15 years. According to the schedule that has been established, the new trains will start to be delivered from 2024 onwards.
