The New Taipei City government has awarded 596 Thales a US$18.5 million contract for the design and manufacture of signalling, communications and operational control centre (OCC) systems for the Danhai Light Rail Transit project, Taiwan’s second tramway line and one of the first tramway projects in Asia Pacific.
Local Taiwan company China Steel, along with its subsidiaries United Steel Engineering and Construction and Taiwan Rolling Stock, will construct the project’s Phase 1 Corridors, including the Green Mountain Line, a section of Blue Ocean Line and a depot. This project will stretch for approximately ten kilometres and is expected to be completed in 2018.
In undertaking this project, the New Taipei City government is preparing its public transportation infrastructure in anticipation of expected population growth, Danhai being in close proximity to Taiwan’s capital city Taipei. The government has further plans to build over four other similar lines in the next four to seven years.
