Italian rail technology group Ansaldo STS S.p.A. was awarded a contract in November 2008, jointly with Turkish partner Alsim Alarko Sanayi Tesisleri Ve Ticaret, to design, supply, test and commission the CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) signalling system for Ankara Metro lines M1 through M4, plus electro-mechanical works on M1/M3. Total contract value EUR 175m, of which about EUR 107m was Ansaldo STS's share.
Ankara Metro Line M4 (Kızılay–Gazino, approx. 10.6 km, initially a 9.2 km northern Şehitler–Gazino section) began test running on 31 August 2016; construction had started in 2004, with regular passenger service from 5 January 2017. The civil contractor (Gülermak-Kolin-Limak) and rolling-stock supplier (CRRC Zhuzhou, China) are Turkish and Chinese respectively. However, the CBTC signalling system for lines M1-M4 was awarded in 2008 to a consortium of Italy's Ansaldo STS S.p.A. and Turkey's Alsim Alarko.
