The MoU was signed on July 30 by KTZ’s first deputy chairman, Mr Kanat Almagambetov, and Alstom’s senior vice-president for Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, Mr Didier Pfleger, during the official visit of France’s minister of economy and finance, Mr Bruno Le Maire, to the EKZ electric locomotive plant in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
The agreement covers the development of digital signalling and interlocking technology, which will be implemented during the modernisation of interlockings at Kazakhstan’s largest stations.
The MoU follows an agreement signed on July 29 between Azerbaijan Railways (ADY) and Alstom to provide technical support for ADY’s locomotive fleet.
