Werdohl, September 16, 2024. Vossloh and DB InfraGO AG, the Deutsche Bahn AG subsidiary responsible for rail infrastructure, are further expanding their long-standing and successful cooperation. The two companies have concluded multi-year framework agreements with a total sales volume of well over €100 million. These agreements cover both corrective maintenance (rail milling) and preventive rail maintenance (high-speed grinding). Rail milling and high-speed grinding are key technologies for the maintenance of Deutsche Bahn's rail network and will make a decisive contribution to extending the service life and increasing the availability of the rail track in the future.

"We are very pleased about the renewed trust of our important customer, which reflects the successful partnership between Vossloh and Deutsche Bahn. Our comprehensive service portfolio enables us to offer our customers individually tailored maintenance solutions. A perfect example is the symbiosis of rail milling and high-speed grinding using HSG technology. Milling eliminates rail defects and restores the rail to perfect condition. We maintain this condition with our globally unique technology of high-speed grinding working in train timetable. The combination not only maximizes the service life of the tracks, but also significantly increases their availability by avoiding future construction and slow running points. Customers benefit from lower operating costs, increased safety in rail traffic and significantly improved efficiency in maintenance," explains Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG.
