Siemens receives metro order from Mexico

/noticias.info/ Siemens Transportation Systems (TS) has received an order from the metro operator "Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metrorrey" in Monterrey, Mexico, to extend metro line 2. Completion of the 8.5-kilometer section is scheduled for October 2007. Partners in the consortium are Bombardier Transportation Mexico and the Mexican construction company Constructora Garza Ponce. The share of the consortium leader Siemens in this turnkey project amounts to around 72 million euros.

TS is responsible for overall project management as well as the power supply system, the signaling and safety equipment, the telecommunications system and the ticketing system. This additional order means that TS will again be the main supplier of the electromechanical equipment for this section of line after supplying the equipment for Line 1 (1988) and Line 2 (1994).

With almost four million inhabitants, Monterrey is the third-largest city in Mexico. Around one million people live in the northern part of the city, which, thanks to the new metro section, will have a better connection to the city center. notas_de_prensa_archivo
