AŽD won the first contract in Hungary

As a part of the modernization of the signalling equipment, AŽD will install fully electronic station interlocking system ESA 44 in Hungary, which will control traffic in two railway stations (Szeged-Rendező and Röszke). The delivery also includes an integrated line signalling, the delivery of LED signal lamps, level crossings, as well as the delivery and installation of the trackside part of the ETCS L1 system with a total value of 5.7 million euros.

Both companies will cooperate on the development, production and installation of railway signalling equipment in Hungary. The cooperation will include the application of Czech know-how and tools for the production of final equipment in Hungary, as well as the development of software specially adapted to Hungarian needs.

„We are glad that our company can contribute to the modernization of Hungarian signalling. For us, this first major project in Hungary is the culmination of a tremendous effort and a great challenge to demonstrate the quality of Czech systems and the professionalism of AŽD. The trust in our company, which was expressed by the CEO of the V-Híd holding István Sárváry when the contract was signed, binds us," said Zdeněk Chrdle, CEO of AŽD, after the contract was signed.

Subsidiaries AŽD Slovakia and Projekt Signal will play a significant role in realisation of the Szeged – Röszke – HU/SRB border line.
