# The Czech Republic chooses SYSTRA for its high speed rail projects

High speed rail will soon be a reality in Moravia, a vast region in the east of
the Czech Republic. The Afry-led consortium has won a contract for the Moravian
Gate I project, one of the pilot programmes for future Czech high speed lines.
The project will bring about a major transformation of the country’s public
transport map.

### A new impetus inspired by France

The Czech railway operator relies on French experience for the design and
construction of its high speed lines. This is a key advantage for SYSTRA, as our
Group has been involved in every LGV project undertaken in France, as well as in
every project to export French high speed know-how to Korea, Morocco and the
United Kingdom.

The aim of the Moravian Gate HSL project is to increase the capacity of the rail
network on the busiest lines, primarily for passenger trains but also to
position the Czech network at the heart of European high speed rail links by
connecting Prague to Munich, Dresden, Vienna, Bratislava, Katowice, and Wroclaw.
