China : CETC orders SIEMENS signalling technology for SUZHOU Line 2 extension [TendersInfo (India)]


(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CHINA Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) has chosen Siemens in a 15m contract to supply signalling equipment for the 15km completely-underground expansion of Suzhou metro Line 2.

Siemens will offer its Trainguard MT automatic train control system, Trackguard Sicas ECC electronic interlockings, and Airlink radio transmission system. Siemens says the system transfers data continuously between the metro line and the train via the radio transmission system, while Trainguard MT uses less trackside equipment than conventional train protection systems. Commissioning of the 13-station extension is scheduled for 2016.



The extension of Line 2 will connect Suzhou's eastern suburbs with the city's metro network. The current 27km north-south Line 2 has 22 stations and its northern terminus is the Suzhou North station, the city's primary railway hub, which provides direct high-speed links to Shanghai and Beijing.
