Etihad Rail signs 3 MoUs with European railway companies to share expertise

Etihad Rail has signed three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Renfe, Spain’s national railway operator, High Speed 1, the first high-speed railway in the UK, and GB Railfreight, the British rail freight company.

The MoUs were signed based on exchanging knowledge, expertise, best practices in freight and passenger rail services and operations, rail maintenance, and managing technical development such as the planning, design, development, and commissioning. This comes as part of Etihad Rail’s efforts for developing railway services as part of the UAE National Railways Program.

The signing took place during the second day of the 16th Middle East Rail 2022, which was hosted by Etihad Rail and held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the DCT– Abu Dhabi. The two-day event was held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre (ADNEC).
