Hollysys Automation Technologies to Provide Ground-based High-speed Rail Signaling System to Wuhan-Xianning Line

Pursuant to the terms of this contract, Hollysys will supply its ground-based high-speed rail signaling system, including Train Control Centers (TCC), Line Side Electronic Units (LEU), and auxiliary products to Wuhan-Xianning Line. The total length of the line is approximately 90 km, and is scheduled to be in commercial operation in 2012.

Wuhan-Xianning high-speed rail line runs through southern part of Hubei Province, which connects Wuhan City, one of the main transportation hubs in China, and Xianning City, a famous ecological city in south of Hubei Province. Upon its operation, it only takes about 20 minutes for passengers to travel between the two cities.

Dr. Changli Wang, CEO and Chairman of Hollysys, commented: "We are pleased of winning this contract to supply our proprietary ground-based high-speed rail signaling system to Wuhan-Xianning high-speed rail line, which is a strong validation of strategic importance for Hollysys proprietary technology and products in this kind of market conditions. As one of the only two approved signaling system providers to China's 300-350km/h segment and one of the only three approved providers to China's 200-250km/h segment, Hollysys will continue to play a leading role in China's high-speed rail build-out. What we value the most through our involvement with China's high-speed rail is the proprietary capabilities we successfully obtained in the domain of rail signaling, which we believe will prelude Hollysys to international rail signaling market."
