Ansaldo STS’s reputation as a leading provider of safe and sustainable metro and light rail

Hangzhou is a rapidly growing city in the Yangtze River Delta of China.
Ansaldo STS has been awarded the USD16.4 million contract to supply the
communication based train control for the city’s first metro, which is expected to
commence operation in June of 2012. Metro Line 1 will be 53.6km long and have 34
stations and 48 trains.
Ansaldo STS (STS.MI), through its subsidiary Ansaldo STS USA, will deliver the metro
project, its fifth as part of its strategic alliance agreement with Zhejiang Zheda INSIGMA

its management since it commenced operating in 2002.
