Singapore, 26 July 2010 – Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics) today announced that it has been awarded a contract worth about S$4.6m by Changchun Railway Vehicles Co Ltd (CRC). ST Electronics will deliver Passenger Information Systems (PIS) for the Rio De Janeiro metro vehicles in Brazil, a project awarded to CRC by Concessao Metroviaria Do Rio De Janeiro SA. The contract was awarded through ST Electronics’ subsidiary in Shanghai, ST Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

ST Electronics will design, manufacture and commission the PIS which will be installed in 30 trains, with a total of 120 cars. The systems will enhance passenger travel experience through the provision of comprehensive real-time audio and multimedia information via computerised public announcements and digital display sub-systems. Work on the project commences immediately and is expected to be completed by mid 2011.

ST Electronics has been awarded more than ten Passenger Information Systems projects in China; of which this is the second such contract for use in Rio De Janeiro. The growing acceptance and confidence shown by the China market in our rail electronics capability is encouraging. We will continue to work closely and cost-effectively with our partners in China.
