Siemens Mobility CEO Michael Peter said: “The completion of the Blue Line Extension is a significant transportation milestone for Bangkok. The ability to now move nearly 500,000 people via the Blue Line provides the city with a key mobility resource to assist in managing its continued growth.

“Siemens Mobility was able to help deliver this important project on schedule by providing one system. It’s classic turnkey: because we are responsible for all aspects of this project, focusing fully on efficient operations from day one, and implementing perfect maintenance that guarantees unmatched availability.”

In 2017, a consortium of Siemens and ST Electronics (Thailand) were contracted to deliver metro trains and associated equipment for extending Bangkok’s Blue Line Metro.
