CRRC signs contract as supplier for the world's oldest subway line on Jan 12, 2016

Delkor Rail, an overseas subsidiary of CRRC Corporation Limited (CRRC), signed an agreement on long term supply for the London underground with Transport for London on Jan 12, 2016.

With the longest history of its kind in the world, the London subway opened to service in 1863.

Valued at more than $10 million, the project raised the impact of CRCC not only in the UK, but also with metro lines in other European countries, which brought a wider market for the company's products.
