FITSCO won the bid for Monterrey Light Rail Lines 4, 5 and 6 in Mexico
In February 2023, FITSCO won the bid for
the general contract signaling system procurement project of Lines 4, 5 and 6
in Monterrey, Mexico. This is a strong step for FITSCO to implement the
"going out" and "internationalization" strategy of China
Railway Electrification Bureau Group and another milestone in exploring the
global urban rail transit market.
The Monterrey Lines 4, 5 and 6 EPC project
is a key project of the Mexican federal government and the largest rail transit
project in Mexico in 2022. The project covers the design, construction and
commissioning of the lines, which has great strategic significance for
improving the urban transportation of Monterrey.
The Monterrey Light rail project is 36
kilometers long, with a total of 29 stations, and is planned to be opened in
three stages. FITSCO will provide the JeRail®CBTC signaling system solution for
the project, enabling Fully automated (FAO) GoA4 level operations.
Monterrey is one of the 2026 World Cup
venues and the third largest city in Mexico. With a population of 4.1 million,
it is the capital of Nuevo Leon State in northeastern Mexico and has the
nickname "Capital of the North". As an internationally important
industrial and commercial center, many important international enterprises are
located here. Once completed, the project will become an important means of
transportation for the city of Monterrey, effectively easing the daily traffic
pressure, and will also contribute to the 2026 World Cup, providing a more
comfortable and efficient way to travel.
