Malaysian transport solutions company Scomi Engineering Bhd (SEB) has started the construction of its proposed monorail manufacturing facility in São Paulo, Brazil. The BRL 50 million (USD 13.6 million) facility, which will be built on a 98,000-square metre plot of land, is designed for the manufacture of monorail trains, including rolling stock and bogies. The contract was awarded by the São Paulo state government.
The facility will be built in phases and operations are scheduled to begin in 2017. The facility will be modelled after SEB’s main facility in Kuala Lumpur.
The facility is situated in Taubaté in Southeastern Brazil. It is strategically located between the two most important Brazilian cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with good access to major ports and road networks.
