Summary
- The deal follows the Tanzanian government’s plan to modernize its railroads, investing 7.9 trillion won ($6.9 billion) to replace its old railway system. Tanzania’s rails were narrower than standard gauges, and trains had to be driven at a slow speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.

Hyundai Rotem has won a 335.4 billion won ($296 million) contract to supply 80 electric multiple units (EMUs) and 17 electric locomotives to the Tanzania Railway Corporation.
The vehicles will be Tanzania's first electric trains and will be supplied by 2024, according to the company Tuesday.
Hyundai Rotem’s electric vehicles will be used on the 546-kilometer (339-mile) railway running from Dar es Salaam to Makutupora, recently reconstructed during the first two phases of the Tanzania standard gauge railway project.
The deal follows the Tanzanian government’s plan to modernize its railroads, investing 7.9 trillion won ($6.9 billion) to replace its old railway system. Tanzania’s rails were narrower than standard gauges, and trains had to be driven at a slow speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.
With new rails, electric locomotives and EMUs supplied by Hyundai Rotem will run at a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour.
There are still three more phases left in Tanzania's standard gauge railway project — modernizing the 673 kilometer railway between Makutupora, Tabora, Isaka and Mwanza — and Hyundai Rotem aims to actively participate in future bids to supply more electric trains.
“As our products will be Tanzania’s first electric trains, we will do our best to successfully carry out the contract,” said a spokesperson for Hyundai Rotem. “We will try to obtain additional contracts by supplying high-quality vehicles.”

JPM si Mungu! Bandari ya bagamoyo aijenge mwenyewe kisa? Kwanini asiachie private investors na kutumia hizo funds kufanya vingine?

Dar es Salaam. The start of the modern train services in Tanzania is moving closer after the government signed $60 million (about Sh138 billion) contracts with a South Korean firm to supply trains for the standard gauge railway (SGR).
The government through the Tanzania Railway Corporation (TRC) is constructing a 2,561-kilometer SGR network that links Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Kigoma, Katavi and neighboring countries of Rwanda, Burundi and DRC.
