His majesty king Mohammed on Thursday at the Rabat -herggal train station with the start of the work to carry out the high-speed line (LGV) Kenitra-Marakech with a length of around 430 kilometers.
The LGV Kenitra-Marakech LGV project translates the well-founded vision of the sovereignty in favor of improving national railway supply and is part of the strategic orientations of the kingdom under the direction of SM, the king, in particular the promotion of mobility solutions for collective mobility with low carbon footprint.
It also shows the firm determination of Morocco to continue the development of the National Rail Network so that it can play its role as a backbone of a sustainable and integrative transport system.
This structuring project of an envelope of 53 billion dirhams (without rolling shares) is part of an ambitious program that mobilizes a total investment of 96 mmdh, which is also on the assumption of 168 trains for an amount of 29 billion DH and for the renewal of the performance for the performance for performance for the performance for the performance Performance of the performance for the performance of the appearance for the performance of the performance for performance for the performance of the appearance for the performance of the appearance for the performance of the appearance for the performance of the appearance for the performance of the national appearance is mobilized. The development of 3 metropolises in relation to Casablanca, Rabat- und Marrakech agglomerations.
The LGV Kenitra-Marakech project consists of the creation of a high-speed rail line that connects the cities of Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech, which operate the Rabat and Casablanca airports.
With this new project, travel times between Tanger and Rabat, 1H40 between Tangier and Casablanca and 2H40 will be between Tangier and Marrakech (time savings of more than 2 hours). The project will also link Rabat with the international airport Mohammed against the international airport Casablanca by serving the new Benslimane Stadium. There is also a high -speed service between FeZ and Marrakech with a 3:40 p.m. Travel time (with high speed trains on the classic FEZ line north of Kenitra before the new high -speed line continues to Marrakech).
The Kenitra-Marrakech LGV Project Focuses in Particular on the Design and Realization of A New Line Between Kenitra-Marrakech Designed for a Speed of 350 KM/H, Arrangements of the Terminal Zones of Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech (Work on Operated Tracks), Rail Equipment, The Construction of New High Speed Stations, Proximity Train Station and Existing, In Addition to Building the Maintenance Center for the Maintenance of Trains in Marrakech.
The realization of the expansion of the Kenitra-Marakech-LGV will enable the release of capacities in the classic network, which follows, and thus the development of an important service of local metropolitan moves (TMP), which part of the needs of the residents of the residents of Rabat, Casisablanca and Marrakecha and Marrakecha, which cover part of the needs in public transport. This new TMP service is a real reaction to the challenges of urban mobility in these three metropolises and has several advantages in terms of punctuality, service quality and sustainability.
In the same time starting the project to carry out the new high-speed-Kenitra-Marakech line, the OnCF starts a unique acquisition program of 168 new trains, which aims to strengthen and rejuvenate all equipment for travelers.
This acquisition program mobilizes an investment of 29 billion DH and enables operating performance results to carry out, strengthen regional services and to react to the increase in data traffic expected by 2030. Specifically, this acquisition refers to 18 high -speed trains for expansion projects, 40 trains for line services, 60 fast -shuttle trains (TNR) -agglomerations.
This ambitious program for stock acquisition will also enable the appearance of an industry rail ecosystem. With a local integration rate of more than 40 PCs, the program shows a strong commitment to the company and the Moroccan skills and will inevitably have positive effects on the support of the economy, the reduction in the means of transport and sustainable development costs.
The program is particularly articulated in two main components, the first is industrial and refers to the facility and the start of an industrial unit for the train production and development of an ecosystem of suppliers and subcontractors. The second component concerns the creation of a joint venture between manufacturers and oncf to ensure that current and industrial maintenance covers the lifespan of the trains with cost control.
This program becomes exhausting for a period of 10 years and enables the training of specialized human resources and the creation of several thousand direct and indirect jobs.
The new modernization project is the entire Moroccan rail traffic network, which not only marks the expansion of the high -speed network to Marrakech, but also the modernization, strengthening and rejuvenation of the OnCF training fleet as well as the creation of a public transport network and a new promising industrial ecosystem.
This important investment and modernization project of the rail network was carried out by based in particular on the specialist knowledge of renowned international companies, including French Alstom for Rolling shares for high speed, the Spanish CAF for inter-cytric training (200 km/h) or the South Korean Hyundai red for local metropolises.
