Long-Term Partnerships and Advanced Technologies

Siemens Mobility first collaborated with Bangkok’s metro during its initial construction phase. However, in 2019, the metro operator switched to J-TREC, a Japanese supplier, due to lower costs.

Higher maintenance expenses led the operator back to Siemens Mobility, reaffirming trust in the company’s solutions. These contracts highlight Siemens’ role in delivering innovative technologies that enhance transportation systems.
