TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Developing transportation systems for the world as the INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTION PROVIDER

The transportation systems business sector is actively working on businesses that have high publicness and growth potential, centering on railway vehicles and systems in social infrastructure that are directly connected with the improvement of people’s daily lives. Exporting Japan’s highly advanced railway system contributes to the infrastructure of developing countries. It relieves traffic jams and helps promote a low carbon society. In addition, we contribute to the development of local communities by creating employment through assembly and maintenance work on site.
The following are achievements we have made in business in recent years; 1) Cairo Metro, which is highly lauded as “the fourth pyramid” in Egypt, 2) India Delhi Metro, which introduced Japanese energy-saving technology and was registered as the world’s first clean development mechanism (CDM) project in the railway business, 3) Dubai Metro, the world’s longest unmanned operation railway system, which is a project contracted throughout its design to construction and commencement of operation, and 4) an electric locomotive for tugboats that supports marine vessels that sail the Panama Canal.
The field of transportation infrastructure requires a wide variety of functions in a trading company, such as exploring projects, implementing feasibility studies, arranging financing, and composing consortiums. Furthermore, a general railway developer is also required that collectively contracts for planning routes, laying tracks, supplying vehicles and signal/communication devices, managing operations, and maintaining business. We firmly grasp these various customer needs and support customers to provide the best solutions.

    Doha Metro, Qatar

    This is the first railway project in Qatar that has been conducted as part of municipal development/improvement in Doha, the capital of Qatar, prompted by the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar is one of the Gulf countries in the Middle East that has remarkably developed in recent years. The railway project is a fully automatic unmanned operation system with a total length of 76 km. We have been mainly in charge of supplying vehicles (330 in total) and have greatly contributed to the fulfilment of the contract.

  • Bangalore Metro, India

    Bangalore Metro, India

    This was the first metro project in Bengaluru (the capital of India’s southern state of Karnataka), which is often called “India’s Silicon Valley.” Developed through economic cooperation with Japan, we have delivered 150 vehicles for the metro system currently in operation on two lines. This metro has mitigated some of India’s worst traffic jams and contributed to more effortless day-to-day living. In addition, 135 of the 150 vehicles were assembled and tested onsite, helping to create local jobs.

  • Dubai Metro, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

    Dubai Metro, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

    This is a fully automatic unmanned urban transportation system with a total length of 89.6 km that was opened in Dubai, UAE in 2009. Dubai Metro connects stations that are accessible to buses, taxies, and water buses, and provides people with highly convenient means of transportation by connecting major regions such as Dubai International Airport and Burj Khalifa. In addition, Dubai Metro greatly contributes to the mitigation of chronic traffic congestion caused by the rapid economic development and population explosion in Dubai.
