UAE
World’s longest driverless metro
Dubai’s state-of-the-art metro conveys an image of modernity, offers passengers optimum reliability and provides an attractive, sustainable alternative to car journeys. Thales delivered SelTrac® CBTC as a turnkey solution for both the Red and Green Lines which together total 75km. Thales’ fully automated train control system offers optimal life-cycle costs thanks to lower operating and maintenance overheads.
