The Royal Railway Company has purchased 11 high-speed rails from Japan.
The 11 KiHa 183 Series DMU high-speed passenger trains left Hokkaido port, Japan on April 15, 2024 and are scheduled to arrive at Sihanoukville Port, Cambodia, on April 27, 2024.
Japan's KiHa 183 Series DMU high-speed rail can runs at a speed of up to 110 km per hour.
Cambodia currently has two railways, Phnom Penh-Poipet and Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville. The railway network is managed by the Royal Railway, a subsidiary of the Royal Group, owned by Oknha Kith Meng. The government plans to upgrade the existing railway to a high-speed railway.
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has studied the project to upgrade the northern Phnom Penh-Poipet railway to be the first high-speed railway in Cambodia.
According to the Ministry of Public Works, the 382-kilometer high-speed railway project will require an investment of more than 4 billion US dollars.
