Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it was awarded a contract for the verification and testing of interoperability with the existing CBTC system by MTA New York City Transit (hereinafter called NYCT).

With this award NYCT is qualifying a third CBTC manufacturer, to solicit additional competition and to maintain longer-term and stable procurement of CBTC products. Mitsubishi Electric was selected as the potential manufacturer of CBTC, upon total evaluation of specification, delivery period and the cost, meaning that Mitsubishi Electric has the right to have verification testing for interoperability with the existing system of NYCT for the certification to become the official manufacturer of CBTC products.
