Germany’s Siemens Mobility GmbH said on Thursday that it has won a major order from Britain’s HS2 high-speed rail project.
Siemens Mobility, a division of Siemens, announced that it has secured four contracts worth €670 million ($690.5 million) from HS2 Ltd for key infrastructure and long-term maintenance.
Siemens Mobility will also join key contractors under the Rail Systems Alliance, it said.
The contracts, which also include a long-term maintenance deal and potentially additional options, are expected to commence in 2025.
The company will play a role in the delivery and operation of the new 225-kilometre-long British high-speed railway that will connect London and the West Midlands.
Siemens Mobility will implement wayside automatic train operations over the European Train Control System Level 2 on a high-speed network, enabling semi-automatic train operations for improved capacity, punctuality and energy efficiency, it said.
Another contract focuses on an engineering management system to enable real-time control and monitoring of railway equipment to boost reliability and efficiency.
Siemens Mobility also formed a joint venture with Costain Ltd to deliver high-voltage power supply systems along the HS2 route.
Finally, Siemens Mobility said it will take charge of implementing operational telecommunications and security systems for the entire HS2 route.
