Saudi Arabia
The world’s longest ETCS line
Saudi Arabia’s new North-South Railway stretches for 2,400km, offering easy mobility for freight and passengers across one of the harshest desert environments on earth. As part of this project, Thales is deploying an integrated solution with ETCS Level 2, interlockings, rail field elements, an Operation Control Centre (OCC), communications, passenger information and security solutions, as well as infrastructure surveillance and fare collection. Thales is leading the consortium, with a local partner, to manage the turnkey project.
