RATP Dev Transportation will be based in Abu Dhabi. In June 2015, RATP Dev signed a partnership with Lakhraim Business Group to set up a joint venture targeting the leading transport projects in the UAE.
RATP Dev is currently working on large-scale projects to implement, operate and maintain public transportation systems across the region, from the first bus network in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to the first tramway system in Doha, Qatar.
The region has allocated over US$250 billion to various railway projects over the next decade, which will result in 67,000 km of railway tracks. Current investment in ongoing rail projects reached over US$180 billion in early 2013 and the most recent estimations suggest the region has approximately 34,000 km of completed tracks. The top eight projects have a combined budget of more than US$65 billion.
