contracting are helping communities cut costs and min-
imize their environmental footprint, while our toll sys-
tems are generating new sources of income and reduc-
ing congestion on city streets.
We maintain direct contact with urban decision-makers
via a network of City Account Managers. Cooperating
closely with all relevant business units, these experts
assemble tailored products and solutions for our cus-
tomers. They also contribute their knowhow to the fur-
ther development of our urban portfolio. Our reports on
London (pages 1 - 19), Singapore (pages 26 - 45) and São
Paulo (pages 62 - 81) illustrate how we’re putting this ap-
proach into practice.
For major infrastructure customers, we have segment-
specific sales structures that enable us to combine, de-
velop and adapt our Sector’s offerings to customer
needs. Just as our City Account Managers serve custom-
ers in the area of urban planning and development, our
Key Account Managers provide professional support for
infrastructure customers – including airport and port
operators, rail companies, data centers and providers of
logistics and postal services. By offering a comprehen-
sive range of integrated products, solutions and servic-
es tailored to their particular needs, we’re tapping new
business potential – for our customers and ourselves.
With around 87,000 employees worldwide, our new
Infrastructure & Cities Sector comprises the Divisions
Building Technologies, Low and Medium Voltage, Mobil-
ity and Logistics, Rail Systems, and Smart Grid.
