With the commencement, Hong Kong is now connected to over 25,000 km high speed rail network in the Mainland of China.
BEIJING, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today issued a press release on the commencement of operation of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) Hong Kong section:
A new page is open for the cross-boundary travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland of China as the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) was finally put into operation on September 23rd, 2018. With the commencement, Hong Kong is now connected to over 25,000 km high speed rail network in the Mainland of China. The commute between Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and Shenzhen Futian Station will take only 15 minutes. Hollysys feel truly happy for the greater connectivity between the Mainland of China and Hong Kong and we sincerely like to congratulate on and celebrate this historic event.
We are also honored and excited to have assumed the roles as the prime contractor responsible for designing, supplying and implementing the High-Speed Rail Signaling Systems and SCADA system for the MTR Corporation starting from 2012. Such sentiment is even more intense given the stiff competition from other world class signaling system providers back then.
Looking back, the project was of tremendous significance to us, with numerous milestones achieved. The entire 26km of the Hong Kong section of the XRL will be run underground is itself of distinctiveness, let alone the difference in administration, regulation, etc. associated with an international project. It was the first time that Hollysys has won international contract for high-speed rail signaling system. It was the first time that Chinese C3 high-speed rail signaling system has been applied in outside of the Mainland of China. And it was the first time that Hollysys has not only provided high-speed rail signaling products certified under international standard, but also comprehensively executed and managed the project under international standard. These milestones were made even more significant as Hollysys won the Quality Award of MTR for five consecutive years, a strong evidence in our ability to guarantee project quality. At this moment, we share our happiness with the people who will benefit from the operation, we feel grateful to the MTR Corporation for all the trust along the way, and we take pride in ourselves.
Going forward, we are extremely delighted to be able to safeguard people's travel within the XRL Hong Kong section as we will be providing maintenance service to MTR following the commencement of operation. With our high-quality performance in the Hong Kong project, our high-speed rail signaling products, certified under both national and international standard, have now been applied in projects both within and outside of the Mainland of China. We are confident that our capacity as a trust-worthy long-term railway business partner has been further proven. We will continue to explore opportunities in home and abroad, to bring people closer in a safe and convenient manner, to steer our rail business to the next level in the global arena, and to create value for our shareholders.
