tãœrasaå , at the Eurasia Rail fair in Istanbul, emphasizing Türkiye's growing role in domestic rail system production, The nose design of the new 225 km/h train introduced to the public. This development represents a significant breakthrough in the country's high-speed train technologies.
First Train Set in Assembly Stage, Dynamic Tests on the Way
First eight-car train set is currently being assembled at TÜRASAŞ's Sakarya facility. The company, with this train set, To start dynamic testing by the end of 2025 This new model is based on the previous 160 km/h platform, offering improved traction and a redesigned structure to reach speeds of 225 km/h.
The train Its aluminum body will reduce weight and increase energy efficiency. Its capacity for 584 passengers makes it very suitable for high-demand routes.
High Speed Targets and International Compatibility
TÜRASAŞ took an important step by developing the traction drive system to achieve higher speed targets. In addition, New diagnostic and control systems developed by TUBITAK RUTE research institute also incorporated it into its structure.
This train, TSI standards (Technical Conditions for Railway Systems of the European Union) This compatibility enables the train to integrate with the European railway infrastructure, thus opening potential export doors.
Start of Mass Production and Localization Rate
According to the statements of Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, TÜRASAŞ Mass production will begin in 2026. Total between 2026-2028 Production of 14 train sets was reportedly planned.
65 percent local content This project, which has 200,000 m2 of capacity, is seen as a strategic step that will strengthen Türkiye's self-sufficiency in industry and accelerate the country's progress in railway engineering.
