CONCLUSIONS

ABOUT TALGO

Gulf countries have launched railway companies

Most of these companies have in common the starting point;

Construction of non-electrified railway lines.

Focused on freight operations

Reduced initial investment costs

Future plans to set up electrified sections – High speed

CONCLUSIONS

ABOUT TALGO

NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED SHORTLY IN

THE REGION

MOST OF THEM STARTS AS DIESEL / FREIGHT – PASSENGERS

HIGH SPEED PROJECTS WILL BE ALSO IMPLEMENTED

PASSENGERS ROLLING STOCK SHOULD BE CONCEIVED TO BE

OPERATED AS DIESEL, CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIFIED AND HIGH

SPEED
