Railway company Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca (SFM) has awarded a consortium consisting of CAF, Electrans, and Hitachi Rail a contract to implement the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Level 1 across its entire network. The contract worth EUR 30 million has a completion period of 54 months.
