High-Speed Train Coming to Vietnam Soon - CleanTechnica

Vietnam’s Vingroup subsidiary VinSpeed has entered a strategic partnership with Siemens Mobility to develop high-speed rail infrastructure in the country. The agreement, signed in December 2025, focuses on technology transfer, design, supply, and potential maintenance cooperation for high-speed rail systems. Siemens Mobility will provide Velaro Novo trainsets capable of speeds up to 350 km/h, featuring advanced signaling (ETCS Level 2) and energy-efficient designs. The partnership targets key routes including Hanoi to Quang Ninh in the north and Ho Chi Minh City to Can Gio in the south, with plans to commence construction by the end of 2025 and begin commercial operations by early 2028. This collaboration is part of a broader vision to modernize Vietnam’s transport network, particularly through the proposed North–South high-speed railway spanning over 1,500 kilometers and estimated to cost over US$61 billion. VinSpeed’s initiatives align with national socio-economic development goals and aim to enhance domestic transport capacity. While
