On May 26, the Ho Chi Minh City Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR) hosted a working session with a delegation from Hyundai Rotem (South Korea), led by Mr. Lee Jaeyong – Head of Business Division. The session was also attended by representatives from FPT Corporation and Truong Hai Industries Group (THACO) to discuss potential cooperation opportunities in urban transportation, particularly the ongoing metro lines in Ho Chi Minh City.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hien – Deputy Director of MAUR – provided an overview of the urban railway network as per the master plan toward 2040, with a development vision to 2060. This master plan is a vital framework for shaping a modern, sustainable public transportation infrastructure that meets the city’s future urban growth needs.

Hyundai Rotem representatives shared detailed information on the modern trains the company is providing for MAUR. Hyundai Rotem, a member of Hyundai Motor Group, is a leading manufacturer of locomotives, railway cars, signal systems, and industrial equipment, operating in over 50 countries with strong credibility and expertise in urban rail development.

FPT representatives highlighted the Group’s extensive capabilities in delivering technology solutions for the public transportation sector, particularly urban railway systems. Drawing on practical experience from key implementations such as Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien), FPT has proven its expertise and ability to partner in the development of modern transport infrastructure.

Amid the active implementation of Resolution 57-NQ/TW by the Politburo, innovation and technology adoption are increasingly seen as key drivers for urban infrastructure development. FPT commits to partnering with MAUR to leverage technology as a strategic tool in solving major challenges for the country and the city—especially in public infrastructure operations. Public transportation is viewed as a core pillar in advancing Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), which not only links strategic transport corridors with economic hubs but also seamlessly connects digital citizens with smart urban infrastructure.

MAUR praised the operational excellence and modern development of South Korea’s metro system, considering it a valuable reference for planning and operating Ho Chi Minh City’s own metro network. MAUR expressed hopes for expanded cooperation, particularly in technology transfer to enhance metro operations in the city.

Leveraging practical experience from projects like CP4 package and the eTicketing system, FPT is confident in supporting MAUR and its contractors by applying ‘Make in Vietnam – Made by FPT’ technologies for upcoming key metro lines such as Metro Line 2 (Ben Thanh – Tham Luong) and other future public transport initiatives.
