The objective of the contract is ‘to provide the rail safety and communications installations needed to bring the new link into operation’.

Designed to reduce travel time for millions of travellers, the new link is expected to result in a ‘significant improvement’ in the operation of the line.

Last month, Thales joined forces with SMRT Trains for the development of next-generation rail signalling technologies for sustainable travel in Singapore.

The project is part of an initiative known as “The Next-Generation Green CBTC Project,” which is anticipated to enable SMRT Trains to reach its 2050 net zero emissions goal.

This year in July, Thales also secured a long-term services contract from SMRT Trains.
