Thales (Ground Transportation)

Products: n/a. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 2.7/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 91th percentile of 128 rail supplier companies.

Analyst brief

Thales's ground transportation record consists of a single 2017 event, the Joo Koon MRT collision in Singapore during a trial of a new Thales signalling system, rated severity 2. The index of 2.7 is low in absolute terms, but the percentile of 91.3 places the company near the top of the rail-supplier category, indicating most peers in that category carry lighter records. The event is a crash classification tied to a signalling-system trial rather than a mature in-service failure, and the record shows one isolated occurrence with no pattern of recurrence. The percentile standing derives from a thin comparison set rather than from volume or severity accumulation.
