System Integration and Functionality

The systems are designed to enhance operational safety, communication efficiency, and passenger comfort. The public address and intercom systems will allow train crews to make announcements, issue safety warnings, and maintain communication with passengers during standard and emergency situations.

Video Surveillance Capabilities

The video surveillance (CCTV) system will include a digital network video recorder (NVR) and a network of IP cameras installed throughout the trains. Touchscreen monitors in the control cabins will provide real-time monitoring.

Data Management and Communication

The mobile communication gateway (MCG) will collect diagnostic data from onboard systems and transmit it to central servers for analysis and performance monitoring. All components will be integrated with the train’s existing control and monitoring architecture to ensure interoperability and efficient operation.

Project Context and Collaboration

This contract builds on a history of collaboration on international rolling-stock projects, including new train manufacturing and the modernization of existing fleets. The cooperation highlights a shared focus on innovation, digitalization, and reliability within the global rail sector.

Strategic Impact

The project strengthens GMV’s role as a technology partner for train manufacturers and operators seeking to improve fleet safety and performance. The sleeper trains, built for ENR, are part of Egypt’s initiative to modernize its passenger rail services and enhance comfort on long-distance routes. The new fleet will incorporate digital systems for advanced safety monitoring, real-time data management, and more efficient communications.
