Siemens Secures Rail Partnerships in Singapore and Signalling Contracts in Taiwan

Singapore, November 2026 – Siemens Mobility has signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with SBS Transit and secured signalling contracts through ST Engineering's Urban Solutions business during the inaugural Singapore Urban Mobility Week 2026, held on 5 November. The agreements aim to strengthen railway technical capabilities, advance digital rail innovation and support the development of urban transport infrastructure across the region.

The first MoU with SBS Transit focuses on improving rail asset lifecycle management and strengthening local engineering capabilities. The collaboration will explore technology transfer, diagnostic solutions and repair expertise to support the long-term reliability and sustainability of Singapore's railway network. A second agreement with SBS Transit Mobility establishes a framework for joint research and development in railway digitalisation, operational safety, network performance and sustainability, including potential cross-border rail initiatives.

In Taiwan, Siemens Mobility has secured contracts from ST Engineering's Urban Solutions business to supply signalling systems for Taoyuan Metro's Brown Line and Green Line extension projects. The contracts will incorporate Siemens' Signalling X technology alongside ST Engineering's turnkey railway capabilities and local market expertise. The collaboration is intended to support safe, reliable and efficient metro operations as Taoyuan expands its urban railway network.

The latest agreements build on Siemens Mobility's existing involvement in railway projects across Asia-Pacific. Its regional portfolio includes signalling and electrification systems for Singapore's Cross Island Line, automated train operations for Malaysia's LRT3 Shah Alam Line, rolling stock and signalling solutions for Bangkok's Orange Line, and railway signalling contracts for Thailand's Northern Double-Track railway programme. In Vietnam, Siemens also secured a high-speed rail development contract in 2026 covering rolling stock, electrification, communications and signalling solutions.

The agreements demonstrate the growing importance of collaboration between international technology providers and regional railway operators in delivering modern transport infrastructure. By combining digital signalling, engineering expertise and asset management capabilities, Siemens aims to strengthen railway performance while supporting the development of more integrated and sustainable urban transport networks across Asia-Pacific.
