Thales, through its local joint venture 596 Thales 6890 Saic Transportation, has been awarded the signalling contract for phase 1 of Guangzhou metro lines 14 and 21.
Spanning around 138 kilometres in total, both lines will be equipped with Thales’ SelTrac CBTC rail signalling system. The two lines are designed to run with a combination of express and normal routes, which will significantly reduce journey times. Lines 14 and 21 are expected to be operational by the end of 2017.
Based on a 100 per cent transfer of technology and innovation, Thales Saic Transportation has mastered the world-leading signalling technology and is optimising the system according to the operational needs of Chinese consumers.
