The Spanish railway sector is a global leader. As proof, the companies represented (Renfe, Adif and Talgo) have been gradually increasing their presence in foreign markets. The best example of this is Adif, a state-owned infrastructure company that is today involved with several consortiums working on projects around the world.
The highest profile project is the contract to build the railway superstructure for the high speed train between Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia and its subsequent operation. This contract is worth 6,736 million Euros.
However this is by no means the only example. Turkey’s high speed train also has a Spanish accent. The first stretch of the Ankara-Istanbul line (Ankara-Eskisehir), which was built by Spanish companies and uses Spanish high speed trains, benefitted from Adif’s expertise in order to become operational in March of 2009. Currently this Spanish firm is working on the expansion and maintenance of Turkey’s railway networks.
Adif has also signed deals in Russia covering technology, operations, training, management, construction and maintenance of railway infrastructure.
In the Americas, Adif provides technical assistance in order to maintain and develop the rail traffic management tool on Fenoco’s Chiriguaná-Santa Marta line (Railways of Northern Colombia).
Adif is also present in Mexico, where it has a joint venture with Ineco to participate in the country’s National Development Plan 2007-2012. Investments under this Plan are expected to reach 160,000 million Euros.
In Africa, the Da Vinci system to control and manage railway traffic—developed by Indra with Adif’s intellectual property—is being implemented on Morocco’s rail network.
