Double-track railway line for mixed traffic for speeds of up to 200 km/h
The challenge.
Create.
A fast rail link between Serbia and Hungary.
France and its engineering companies being specialists in high-speed railway line development and implementation are participating through Egis and Egis experts on this project to create the first high-speed railway line in this part of Europe.
Imagine getting on a train in Belgrade and getting off in the centre of Budapest in just a few hours. Egis is working to make this vision a reality. By supervising the construction of this line, Egis is bringing Serbia closer to Hungary.
Within the project Egis experts are working on design review and supervision of construction for the modernization of the railway section Novi Sad - Hungarian border in a length of 108 km, in order to establish a double track railway line for mixed traffic and speeds of up to 200 km/h, meeting the requirements of the Basic Corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network.
Achieve.
Greener, more comfortable rail travel.
Along with the achievement of higher speeds of passenger trains, it will be possible to travel from Belgrade to Budapest in less than 3 hours. It means not only a reduction in travel time but will also strengthen relations between the two countries.
The project implementation will contribute to more efficient, comfortable, and faster traveling by rail between Serbia and Hungary. Shifting passenger flows from roads to railways will result in reduced emissions of environmental pollutants. Residents of towns and cities along the new line will gain access to convenient means of transport.
