Delivering Vietnam’s North-South HSR project, key success factors, issues to be resolved and building best practice benchmarks for the development of the proposed multi-billion-dollar HSR project, as such, this conference provides a timely platform for a diverse perspective and deep understanding to fine tune and close the gap between aspects of planning/development and the market reality, reviewing possible business opportunities in developing, constructing and maintaining civil infrastructure and stations, as well as reviewing operational, technical and procurement matters relating to HSR systems and operations

From now to 2020, Vietnam is considering schemes on constructing a high-speed North-South railway, with a focus on some priority railway sections, including those between Hanoi capital and central Vinh city, and between Ho Chi Minh City and central Nha Trang city. Vietnam’s North-South HSR system will make use of a double track standard gauge (1,435 millimeters). Its track network will also be completely independent of the existing North-South Railway line. The first stage of the standard-gauge double-track railway will be built from 2020 to 2030, with operational speeds of 160 to 200 kilometers per hour. For the 2020-2030 phase, the construction of the HSR will begin with electrified train operating at speeds ranging from 160 kilometres per hour to less than 200 kilometres per hour. Priority will be given to sections with great demand. It is envisioned that Vietnam’s North-South HSR system will be completed by 2050. From 2050, it is expected that the train can run at a maximum speed of 350 kilometres per hour.
Vietnam’s North-South HSR project brings lucrative opportunities to all forward thinking industry players to bid for the construction of HSR infrastructure, including all aspects of the HSR development, from construction, operation, rolling-stock, financing, signaling system, as well as development of new townships and facilities along the track line. Against this development, “Vietnam’s North-South High-Speed Rail (HSR) Project Conference 2018” provides update on current status and development of the HSR project as well as a platform to generate leads and contacts for possible business opportunities for industry players to participate. In addition, this conference provides a timely opportunity to forge partnership to deliver operational efficiency, pinpointing constraints and the solutions to expedite the delivery of Vietnam’s North-South HSR project.
