The system is capable of withstanding adverse climatic conditions and the challenging soil conditions in Mongolia.
Vossloh trialled this on a test track near the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar in 2017 and has since installed the rail fastening system on various projects.
The new 270km-long line will connect the Tavan Tolgoi with Gashuun Sukhait port at the Chinese border.
Once complete, the line will support the transportation of around 30Mt of goods, primarily raw materials for steel production. The construction work is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
