The deal, worth around 450 million euros (634 million dollars), is to deliver components to the Nanjing SR Puzhen Rail Transport company for trains that will run on a 2,000-kilometre (1,240-mile) track in the Pearl River Delta.

The network is due to be completed by 2020 and the first component deliveries will take place in 2011 and 2012, Siemens said.
