German rail technology provider Vossloh won a contract to supply fastening systems for 270 kilometres (168 miles) of rail lines in Mongolia, its first from the Asian country.
The contract is worth only 20 million euros ($27 million), Vossloh said on Thursday, but added that it hopes it will be the first of many contracts from Mongolia, which is planning new rail lines with a total length of 5,500 kilometres in the coming years.
Delivery of fastening systems for the route connecting Mongolia's massive Tavan Tolgoi coal mine with the Chinese border will begin in a few weeks and be completed in the first half of 2015.
