In October 2019, MetroLinx and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) officially announced that Mobilinx was the awardee of the Hurontario Light Rail Transit project, bringing one of Ontario’s largest infrastructure projects to the Peel region.

ACYGS will supply 21 packages of equipment for the Ontario Railway Workshop, including rolling stock maintenance equipment, fluid distribution systems, welding equipment, machinery tool, as well as industrial parts washers, storage, and a retractable paint booth.

The 18-kilometer Hurontario Light Rail Transit line will offer a new, eco-friendly, and comfortable method of transportation to a fast-growing region. The new transport system will have 19 stations throughout two city centres, and it will be connected to the major transport facilities, including GO Transit (Milton and Lakeshore West lines), Mississauga Transitway, Brampton Transit, ZUM and MiWay. The Hurontario LRT line will also have its own dedicated lane to ensure a smooth, comfortable, and convenient ride along the busiest street in the region.

Glasgow Subway, operated by SPT, is being updated with 17 new driverless trains, that will start functioning in 2021.

The scope of ACYGS services includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of equipment for the maintenance depot, as well as the preparation of project documentation, giving support to STADLER and their collaborator, Hitachi Rail STS, for obtaining the approval of the final client. The equipment supplied is suitable for both, the existing rolling stock as well as the new units.

At present, the supply and installation of all the equipment has been completed, we are now in the last phase, the commissioning. All the equipment, including the lifting systems, the battery charging bench, the storage systems for pieces and the washing equipment, will be in service at the end of this year.

This contract is part of the project for the construction of the driverless metro in Thessaloniki, capital of the province of Macedonia and the second most important city in Greece in terms of population and economy.

ACYGS is responsible for the supply, installation and commissioning of three packages of machinery equipment for the Pylaia depot, which includes the new operations center for the entire city’s metro network. In 2020, the supply of all project equipment was completed, and it is currently in the installation phase.

The first equipment package consists of five different types of platform ladders, both fixed and mobile. The second, is a complete package of welding equipment. The latest package includes the entire depot tooling, including CNC lathes, machining centre, drills and presses, among others.

The ACYGS-led consortium was awarded with the international public tender under the treaties for the supply, installation and commissioning of machinery and specialized maintenance equipment for the workshops and depots of line 3 of the Guadalajara light rail.

Line 3 in Guadalajara (Mexico) was inaugurated in September 2020 and has a length of 21 km and 18 stations. The aim of this line is to connect the cities of Zapopan, Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque. In addition, this line already has workshops and depots with maintenance equipment supplied by ACYGS.

The construction of this new line is described as one of Mexico’s most important projects. The most advanced and sustainable means of control have been implemented and the equipment supplied by ACYGS also followed these premises.

Line 2 and the branch of Line 4 of the Lima and Callao Metro will be Peru’s first fully automatic underground mass transport, which will benefit 2.5 million people along 35 kilometers and 10 districts. This mega structure is the result of the work of the Central Government together with a highly experienced concession company in this sector, which has built metro systems and hundreds of stations around the globe.

ACYGS started the installation of the equipment supplied at the maintenance workshop in Santa Anita, in 2019 and it is planned that during 2021 the full installation of the equipment will be completed. The equipment installed will allow the maintenance of the rolling stock supplied by Hitachi Rail.

Furthermore, another of our most important clients, Metro de Madrid, is involved in the project. They will provide their advice and technical assistance for the commissioning, operation, exploitation, and maintenance of the line. This way, Metro de Madrid will provide the new Peruvian line with their experience of more than 100 years in the Madrid Underground.
