Thyssenkrupp has won its second major order to supply elevators and escalators for a Middle East metro project in as many months.
The German firm has been awarded a contract to manufacture, supply, install and maintain more than 500 elevators and escalators for the Red Line North, Green Line and two additional major stations of Dohas upcoming metro network.
Last month Thyssenkrupp signed a similar deal to supply 641 elevators and escalators for Lines 1 and 2 of the Riyadh Metro in Saudi Arabia.
Abdul Hamid El Ayoubi, CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator (Middle East), said: We are extremely proud of our continuous participation in Qatars infrastructure-driven development, having already supplied almost 400 units for the recently inaugurated Hamad International Airport in Doha.
Thyssenkrupp has long established itself as the preferred supplier for airport and metro/railway projects in the Middle East with several reference projects in the region, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnerships in the region.
The Doha metro will consist of four lines: Red, Green, Gold and Blue, with plans for over 100 stations across a total length of more than 200 kilometers.
