Supporting China's metro expansion

China is the world’s biggest urban rail market. It’s also one of the fastest growing, with 8,500km of new lines planned in 40 cities.

Thales is supporting this expansion through Thales SAIC Transport (TST) – a joint venture with Shanghai Electric dedicated to urban rail signalling.

Since its foundation in 2010, TST has put more than 1,000 km of lines into service with SelTrac™ CBTC. A further eight lines went into operation in 2018.
