The rail network in Kyrgyzstan

Understanding the ground before we mobilise

Network of about 420 km, 1,520 mm broad gauge, mostly non-electrified. Infrastructure and operations: Kyrgyz Temir Jolu.

Limited network in the north and south, construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan line launched in 2024.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ studies jobs in Kyrgyzstan case by case: road-rail MEWPs and excavators shipped by road or sea with their certified operators, operators provided on long-distance assignment, training of local teams with AK FORMATION, as a subcontractor to French companies or in partnership with local players.

Our road-rail plant is built for 1,435 mm standard gauge; compatibility with the gauge in use in Kyrgyzstan (1,520 mm broad gauge) and approval by the infrastructure manager are confirmed during the study.
