Auxiliary power converter for metro of women's university in Riyadh

Currently, the largest university for women in the Arab world in Riyadh is being built. The subway system will be provided by the Italian manufacturer AnsaldoBreda. The two-unit railcars are fully automatic: They will carry passengers without a driver. Because of the climate in Saudi Arabia, air-conditioners which are built by Webasto are particularly important. SMA provides the required converters for the air-conditioning. The first metro will go on a test run in the fall of 2010. Only one year later all railcars will be delivered.
