(News Bulletin 247) – Alstom has won a contract from Mitsubishi Corporation to supply an integrated railway system for the extension of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project in the Philippines.
This project, carried out by a consortium led by Alstom with Colas Rail, will transform mobility between Metro Manila and the suburban areas of Luzon, making it faster, more reliable and more sustainable.
Alstom will be responsible for system integration, signaling and telecommunications, power supply, automatic fare collection system, platform screen doors, maintenance systems and depot equipment, as well as the control and training.
In particular, the group will deploy a level 2 signaling system ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) for the first time in Southeast Asia, using its proven European train control system Atlas™ 200 (ETCS). Colas Rail will manage the track works and the overhead contact line system.
“This project not only solidifies our market leadership position in the region, but is also a bold step for the country in realizing an integrated rail network that applies advances in main line signaling for a more efficient and sustainable mobility,” said Ling Fang, President of Alstom for the Asia-Pacific region.
