Singapore, 28 July 2026 – ST Engineering today announced that its Urban Solutions business has secured an $840m turnkey rail services contract for the Taoyuan MRT Brown Line in Taiwan. Awarded by the Taoyuan City Government in July 2026 as part of a consortium with Hyundai Rotem, the project expands ST Engineering’s role in Taiwan’s rail network where it has delivered rail projects for over three decades.
Under the contract, ST Engineering will lead overall project management and systems integration for the project, and provide rail electronics solutions including supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), communications system, automatic fare collection system and platform screen doors. Working closely with its partners, ST Engineering will be responsible for the overall integration and delivery of key project components, including the signalling system, track works and bulk substation building civil works, while Hyundai Rotem will provide the rolling stock and power supply system. Project execution is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will be delivered over eight years.
“Transport agencies are increasingly seeking trusted partners who can seamlessly integrate technologies and systems while managing large-scale project delivery. This contract reflects our customer’s confidence in our ability to deliver large-scale rail infrastructure projects, drawing on decades of experience in delivering major rail projects in Taiwan and around the world,” said Gareth Tang, President, Urban Solutions, ST Engineering. “We look forward to supporting the continued expansion of Taoyuan's rail network, and delivering a world-class metro system that enhances accessibility for local communities.”
Comprising seven stations, the 11.38km Taoyuan MRT Brown Line will provide quick and direct rail connection between Taoyuan City and the Greater Taipei area, improving connectivity and reducing travel time for commuters when completed.
This project adds to ST Engineering’s global track record of more than 200 rail projects across 50 cities worldwide, underscoring its capabilities in providing end-to-end rail solutions from project management and systems integration to rail electronics solutions.
