Vingroup has launched the Hanoi-Quang Ninh high-speed railway (HSR) project, a 120.2 km electrified line designed for speeds of up to 350 km/hr in Vietnam. The project, developed by VinSpeed, will connect Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh, significantly improving regional connectivity.
With an investment of over VND147 trillion (more than USD5.6 billion), the line will reduce travel time between Hanoi and Quang Ninh from over two hours to approximately 23 minutes. The route will include five stations, starting at Co Loa Station in Hanoi and terminating at Ha Long Station, along with intermediate stops and a depot at the terminal.
Siemens Mobility will supply high-speed trains and key systems, alongside a technology transfer programme to VinSpeed. The project is expected to be completed and operational by 2028, positioning it as Vietnam’s first inter-regional high-speed railway and a major step in modernising national transport infrastructure.
