Siemens Mobility Awarded Maintenance Contract for Kuala Lumpur Metro Trains

Siemens Mobility announced that it has been awarded the technical support and spares contract for the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by the general contractor SMH Rail. It is a planned maintenance after the line has been in operation for eight years. This contract builds on Siemens' existing technology and expertise for the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line, further strengthening the company's presence in the Malaysian public transportation market.

The contract builds on Siemens Mobility's previous involvement in the Klang Valley MRT Kajang Line project, in which the company designed the train and supplied key train components including traction converters, train control systems, and bogies. The local consortium partner SMH Rail performed the local assembly under Siemens Mobility’s supervision.

To optimize the lead times and quoted prices, the contract includes a considerable scope including key experts for training and supervision from Siemens Mobility Thailand. In Bangkok’s full-service projects the company provides up to 100% availability for the Blue and Green Line.

All efforts of the new maintenance agreement will ensure the continued reliable and efficient operation of the metro system, which plays a crucial role in supporting Kuala Lumpur's growing transportation needs in a sustainable manner.
