TOKYO: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., has renewed its contract with Dubai Airports for Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services for the Automated People Mover (APM) system at Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3.

The contract covers the maintenance of the APM system consisting of a total of 18 cars, two stations and a route length of 2.3 km.

The APM system was originally delivered by MHI in 2012. MHI has provided O&M services for the APM system since 2018. The contract renewal is the result of the system’s operational stability, safety, and reliability.

The new contract has been implemented by MHI Mobility Engineering Services (MHI_MESC), a newly established subsidiary in Dubai, which is aiming to expand its services for transportation systems. MHI-MESC was inaugurated in Dubai in October 2023.

Through the provision of APM Systems, a clean transport mode that emits no CO2, MHI Group is aiming to enhance transportation convenience while simultaneously helping to realize a low-carbon society.

APMs are used worldwide to connect air terminals or function as transportation systems in urban environments.
