摩洛哥正推进一场高速铁路建设计划，成为非洲这一领域的先行者。该国计划到2030年铺设630公里高速铁轨，建成非洲最密集的高速铁路网络，并到2040年进一步扩展至1100公里，最终连接菲斯、阿加迪尔、乌季达等城市。[1]
已投入运营的Al Boraq列车标志着这一计划的初步成果。该列车于2018年11月开通运营，总投资约31亿美元，往返于丹吉尔和卡萨布兰卡之间。[1]这条铁路大幅缩短了两地间的通行时间，将原本需要5小时的323公里旅程压缩至2小时多，列车最高时速可达320公里。[1]按规划，超过100列新列车将投入运营，进一步扩大路网覆盖范围。[1]
Morocco is undertaking an ambitious high-speed rail transformation that will position it as a continental leader in modern railway infrastructure. By 2030, the country plans to complete 630 kilometers of high-speed track, establishing Africa's densest high-speed rail network.[1] The flagship Al Boraq train, which launched in November 2018, already demonstrates the success of this vision, connecting Tangier and Casablanca across 323 kilometers in just over 2 hours—a journey that previously required 5 hours.[1] The project cost approximately $3.1 billion for the initial phase.[1]
The expansion will not stop at 2030. By 2040, Morocco's high-speed rail system is projected to extend to 1,100 kilometers, eventually linking major cities including Fes, Agadir, and Oujda.[1] Over 100 new trains will service routes across the expanded network, with the Al Boraq achieving maximum speeds of 320 kilometers per hour.[1]
