With an operating speed of 320km\/h, this train named \u2018Al Boraq\u2019 redraws the kingdom\u2019s transport map.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reference to the winged horse of oriental tradition, Al Boraq&nbsp;is hencethorth the name of the high speed line linking the cities of Tangiers, Kenitra, Rabat and Casablanca, some of Morocco\u2019s main economic hubs. Journey times have been significantly reduced: Casablanca \u2013 Tangiers goes from 4h45 to 2h10, Tangiers \u2013 Rabat from 3h40 to 1h20, and Tangiers \u2013 Kenitra from 3h15 to just 45 minutes. The ONCF, SYSTRA\u2019s client and the project owner, predicts a doubling in annual ridership, with six million passengers by 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tangiers \u2013 Casablanca HSL was designed and built in only seven years with the same requirements and standards as those of our HSL projects in France, and it uses the ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) Level 2 signalling standards, It is also a revoluiotn in terms of costs, with a price per kilometre halved compared with European projects. It opens the door to the creation of a high speed rail network in the country in order to serve the majority of cities of more than 400,000 inhabitants, thereby allowing around 1,500km of HSL to emerge by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_lgv_casablanca-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3414\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-systra-s-assignments\">SYSTRA\u2019s assignments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>SYSTRA was mobilised at all the design and execution phases, from the very first studies at the start of the 2000s.
