No matter their necessity, those upgrades are also expected to produce considerable traffic disruptions. The Hungarian rail logistics sector and the country\u2019s infrastructure manager have agreed on a strategy to move forward harmoniously in this challenging environment while ensuring that rail keeps serving customers.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span id=\"more-55066\"><\/span>In particular, the Association of Hungarian Logistics Service Centres (MLSZKSZ) and the Hungarian infrastructure manager M\u00c1V held meetings before the launch of multiple infrastructure upgrades. They agreed to coordinate closely during this process. MLSZKSZ mentioned that the two parties will hold regular consultations so that railway carriers are adequately informed and prepared even for the basics, like stockpiling goods, planning detour routes, or, at least, knowing that they need to plan with longer travel times.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/railfreight\/2024\/05\/23\/surprise-surprise-tacs-in-hungary-are-about-to-rise\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rail-yard-Budapest-1-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/railfreight\/2024\/05\/23\/surprise-surprise-tacs-in-hungary-are-about-to-rise\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">Surprise, surprise: TACs in Hungary are about to rise<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;The domestic industrial development wave requires significant development of the transport infrastructure.

This can reduce uncertainty and prevent an unexpected outage of services,\u201d stressed Zsolt F\u00fcl\u00f6p, president of MLSZKSZ.<\/p>\n<p>The development comes just days after another industry body, HUNGRAIL, voiced concerns over the simultaneous infrastructure work occurring this August.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/infrastructure\/2024\/07\/26\/simultaneous-track-renovation-strains-hungarian-intermodal-operations\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"> Lacking proper coordination, this work creates issues for intermodal operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Big upgrades-big disruptions<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, Hungary has already embarked on an intensive infrastructure upgrade programme, with work underway in several locations. The impacted railway lines include the country&#8217;s busiest railway section, the Budapest Southern Circular Railway, the Miskolc line, several railway sections in the Debrecen area, and the Gubacsi Bridge, which is crucial for reaching the Csepeli Free Port. In addition, the Budapest-Belgrade railway line is being built, and the construction of the V0 bypassing the capital can also begin.<\/p>\n<p>MLSZKSZ underlines that \u201capproximately 1,600 kilometres of railway lines will be developed in the next six years. The closures and diversions pose a difficulty in logistics, which accounts for five per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). In addition, due to the significant wave of industrial development\u2014for example, car and battery factories\u2014the demand for transportation will increase,\u201d meaning that the need for reliable rail logistics will sharpen, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The coming six years until 2030 will see the Hungarian railway network undergoing significant upgrades.
