TAIWAN: ST Engineering’s Urban Solutions business has awarded Siemens Mobility contracts to supply its Signaling X technology to Taiwan for the first time, as part of the Taoyuan Brown Line and Green Line Extension projects.

Earlier this year a consortium of ST Engineering and Hyundai Rotem was awarded the S$840m turnkey rail services contract to equip the 11.4 km Brown Line, which will link the Huilong terminus of the Orange Line in the west of New Taipei to Taoyuan main line station.

ST Engineering is responsible for overall project management and systems integration, along with delivery of the signalling to support GoA4 fully automated train operation, trackwork, some civil works, electrical equipment including SCADA, communications and automatic fare collection systems and platform screen doors. Hyundai Rotem will provide the rolling stock and power supply systems.
