Siemens Mobility to deliver 14 light rail trains to Phoenix
“Additional
light rail fleet supports our mission of connecting communities, especially as
we close in on the 2024 completion date of South Central Extension/Downtown
Hub,” said Scott Smith, Valley Metro CEO. “As our transit system grows, so must
our fleet to accommodate new miles of service and additional riders across
metro Phoenix.”
“Phoenix is
currently the fifth largest city in the U.S. and is continuing to grow
steadily. As urbanization accelerates, sustainable transport systems are
becoming more important than ever – and we very much welcome Valley Metro’s
decision to expand the city’s public transportation system. Siemens Mobility
will deliver light rail trains that provide greater passenger comfort and
improved availability,” said Albrecht Neumann, CEO of Rolling Stock at Siemens
Mobility.
The S700
light rail trains offer a spacious interior, energy-efficient LED lighting,
generous storage space for bicycles, and a powerful air conditioning system
that ensures passenger comfort even when dealing with high outdoor
temperatures. The improved performance and optimized availability of the trains
is achieved with condition-based monitoring, data analytics and predictive
maintenance.
