Morocco's national railway operator, the Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF), and DB Systemtechnik GmbH, a subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Bahn, signed a memorandum of understanding on September 24, 2026, in Berlin. The agreement aims to strengthen cooperation between the two rail organizations.
The signing took place during InnoTrans 2026, the international trade fair for transport technology held in Berlin. The memorandum covers areas of mutual interest in railway technology and operations, though specific details of the cooperation have not been publicly disclosed.
This partnership comes as Morocco continues to develop its high-speed rail network and modernize its railway infrastructure. The ONCF has been expanding its services, including the Al Boraq high-speed line, and cooperation with international partners like Deutsche Bahn could support these efforts.
DB Systemtechnik is the engineering and testing subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, specializing in railway technology, certification, and consulting services. The company has worked on various international projects and brings technical expertise to the collaboration.
