Siemens AG Bangkok Skytrain : GlobalGiants.com

Berlin: February 10, 2007 -- With its wide array of products and solutions, Siemens has been making vital contributions to the improvement of urban infrastructure for many years now. In the fields of transport, energy, healthcare and IT, there are numerous examples of how the company’s technology is helping the world’s megacities to take on their most pressing problems. In Bangkok, for example, most of the local public transport runs with Siemens technology. The city’s overhead Skytrain and its subway were both turnkey solutions from Siemens, including the control technology and signaling. And Siemens now is also maintaining the track and rolling stock. Introducing these two systems has helped people to travel faster within the city: The Skytrain averages 80 kilometers an hour, eight times the speed of the cars that crawl through the streets.
