Scomi Engineering Bhd’s monorail technology will power the São Paulo Line 18 project in Brazil, which is scheduled to begin early next year, says its chief executive officer Kanesan Veluppillai.
He said it would function as the technology provider to Consorcio ABC Integrado, which was awarded the Public Private Partnership project for a concession period of 25 years.
“We are honoured that Scomi’s technology is once again recognised in Brazil after two previous wins in Manaus and São Paulo for Line 17.
“Despite the challenging business environment, our key strategy of continuous improvement on our rail technology is earning us a growing reputation among cities around the world,” said Kanesan in a statement yesterday.
Scomi Engineering’s Brazil country president Hilmy Zaini Zainal said his team had been working closely with Consorcio ABC Integrado.
He said Scomi Engineering would provide services in design of rolling stock and track switches, supply of vehicle management system and bogies as well as system integration.
“While we are not part of the PPP consortium which owns the concession, we are gratified that the Companhia Do Metro in São Paulo has recognised Scomi as the technology provider to this project.
“We are also very pleased that this is our first project in Brazil where we will be involved in operations and maintenance support,” said Hilmy.
The Line 18 project spans 14.35km.
