Siemens extends partnership with Denver RTD

Siemens has been awarded a US$112 million contract to build an additional 29 SD-160 light rail vehicles for Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD), extending the company’s 22-year relationship with RTD. The new vehicles are expected to be delivered early in 2018 and will be completely interoperable with the current system, continuing the potential for notable savings in maintenance and operation costs that RTD says it has achieved over the years.
