- 76 km rail line now in operation
- Project connects Gebze in Asia and Halkali in Europe with commuter, intercity and high speed trains as well as a freight link
- Project features Signaling and Control, Communications and SCADA systems as well as CBTC and ERTMS technology
Turkish State Railways has inaugurated revenue service for main phase of the Marmaray project, an initiative to connect the Asia-Europe corridor. As part of the joint venture, constructing this line, Siemens Mobility installed and commissioned the Signaling and Control system, the Communication systems as well as the SCADA system. The line connects 62 km, including 43 km on the Asian-side of the peninsula and 19 km on the European-side, to the 14 km of tunnel under the Bosphorus Strait. The line will have an overall length of 76 kilometers and allows a mixed commuter, intercity and freight service for the metropolitan area of Istanbul as well as the integration of the Gebze-Halkali section in the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed corridor, providing greater availability to those crossing continents. More than 75,000 passengers per hour at a two-minute interval during peak travel times are finding their commutes more efficient.

On September 26, 2017 Siemens and Alstom have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to combine Siemens' mobility business, including its rail traction drives business, with Alstom. The transaction brings together two innovative players of the railway market with unique customer value and operational potential. The two businesses are largely complementary in terms of activities and geographies. Siemens will receive newly issued shares in the combined company representing 50 percent of Alstom's share capital on a fully diluted basis.On February 6, 2019 the European Commission has announced its decision to prohibit the proposed combination of the Siemens and Alstom mobility businesses. As a result of this prohibition, the merger will not proceed. Siemens and Alstom regret that the remedies they offered, including recent improvements, have been considered insufficient by the EU Commission.
