A main
partner
in Italian
high-speed
railway
expansion
As the Italian high-speed railway network
expansion gains impetus, Prysmian has
become one of the main partners of the
major organisations involved, as the
Alta Velocità Italiana project is currently
in the execution phase and its future
developments will involve laying new
stretches of track, linking many large
Italian and international cities. Under
the agreements reached with the main
consortia of Italian firms taking part
in the project, Prysmian has supplied
various types of cables and accessories
for a total of more than 1,100km of high-
speed rail lines. It has primarily supplied
railway-signalling cables, special cables
for rail-track circuits and fibre-optic
cables manufactured at Italian plants.
This set of contracts represents the
tangible result
of a teameffort begun long
ago, and is an essential contribution to one
of Italy’s most important infrastructure
projects. Most of the signalling cables
installed along the Italian network have
been supplied by Prysmian, and this is the
evidence of the Group’s deep expertise in
the railway sector. Michele Mossio, T&I
Prysmian Group has supplied
various types of cables and
accessories for a total of more
than 1,100km of railway lines.
and OEM Director Italy, stated that: “Once
again,the Group is playing a leading
role in the implementation of strategic
infrastructure for Italy’s development,
bearing witness to the Company’s
continuing focus on researching and
developing new solutions.”
