Successful market entry in Peruvian market
Erlangen, Germany, 2010-Apr-20
From the middle of 2011, a new elevated train line will enter service in Lima, extending the city's Tren Urbano metro line by 11.7 kilometers. For the first time ever, a rail-based mass transit system will lead from Lima's suburbs to the city center, taking in nine additional stations along the way. Siemens Mobility will be handling electrification of the entire line for the "Consorcio Tren Eléctrico Lima" (CTEL) consortium, giving the Division a market entry in the Peruvian market.
Siemens Mobility is to electrify the 11.7 kilometer extension to Lima's Tren Urbano metro line. For the first time ever, a rail-based mass transit system will run to the city center, taking in nine stations along the way. The customer is the "Consorcio Tren Eléctrico Lima" (CTEL) consortium, led by the Brazilian construction company Norberto Odebrecht Sucursal Peru S.A. and local construction company Graña y Montero.
Siemens Mobility will equip the 11.7 kilometer long metro extension line, including the nine stations, with the entire traction power supply. The metro line runs on a viaduct and is to be extended northward from its present terminus at Atacongo station to Avenida Grau, one of Lima's main streets. The main challenge in this order will be the extremely short project duration of 12 months, with service due to commence in the middle of 2011. Besides the traction power supply, the scope of supply includes a Vicos RSC remote control center, the overhead catenary equipment as well as telecommunications and the fare management system.
The new line is an extension of the existing Tren Urbano metro route, for which planning and construction began back in the late eighties. Instead of the originally planned 24 kilometers, only 9.8 kilometers were built at the time, together with seven stations.
