Siemens Mobility Awarded Maintenance Contract for Kuala Lumpur Metro Trains
"We are pleased to extend our long-standing partnership
with the Kuala Lumpur metro system through this important maintenance
contract,"
said Elmar Zeiler, CEO of Siemens Mobility Customer Service.
"Our deep expertise in rail technology and commitment to
sustainability will help ensure the continued reliable and efficient operation
of this critical public transportation network that serves millions of
residents in the region."
"Siemens Mobility's proven capabilities and
collaborative approach make it the ideal partner to collaborate jointly to
recondition the trains on our Kajang MRT Line,"
said Datuk PK Nara,
Chairman and Managing Director of SMH Rail. "We look forward to
working closely with their team to optimize the performance and lifespan of
these important metro assets."
The contract builds on Siemens Mobility's previous
involvement in the Klang Valley MRT Kajang Line project, in which the company
designed the train and supplied key train components including traction
converters, train control systems, and bogies. The local consortium partner SMH
Rail performed the local assembly under Siemens Mobility’s supervision.
To optimize the lead times and quoted prices, the contract
includes a considerable scope including key experts for training and
supervision from Siemens Mobility Thailand. In Bangkok’s full-service projects the
company provides up to 100% availability for the Blue and Green Line.
All efforts of the new maintenance agreement will ensure the
continued reliable and efficient operation of the metro system, which plays a
crucial role in supporting Kuala Lumpur's growing transportation needs in a
sustainable manner.
