Siemens's Metro System For Sydney Metro

On 21 December 2022, Siemens Mobility announced that it will be the system integrator and partner for delivery of the city-shaping project Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport, the new metro railway line that will operate between St Marys, the new Western Sydney International Airport and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. 

The company has been awarded a contract to deliver 12 automated, driverless three-car metro trains, a purpose built depot, the digital rail infrastructure including signalling, telecoms and platform screen doors as well as system integration, testing and commissioning. The company will also complete a 15-year maintenance contract. Siemens Mobility is delivering the turnkey project as a member of the Parklife Metro consortium with its partners Webuild, RAPT Dev, and Plenary Group, all with strong international experience in delivering infrastructure projects. The Siemens Mobility portion of the contract is 900 million EUR.
  
The Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport project highlights a significant milestone for Siemens Mobility in Australia, with the first turnkey project and first Public Private Partnership. The new airport is forecast to have 10 million passengers by the early 2030s and will be Sydney’s first 24/7 airport. The city-shaping rail link will support access to the new Western Sydney Aerotropolis that will create approximately 200,000 new jobs, providing a major economic stimulus for the Western Sydney, New South Wales and national economies.
 
Siemens Mobility will implement Railigent X – the Mobility Application Suite for digital services – to help gain valuable data insights in operation to enable greater reliability and availability for the assets. Railigent X will provide an optimized maintenance regime as a result of FRACAS (failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system) and RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance) analysis.
