4 February
2022 – Alstom,
global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has won a €156
million turnkey contract in Italy with Infra.To, owned by the city
of Turin and one of Europe's largest public companies, to supply
its latest generation of fully driverless train-to-train CBTC1
system for line 1 of Turin Metro along with four new Metropolis
trains. The contract includes an option for twelve more Metropolis
trains.
Alstom will oversee the development, delivery,
installation, testing and commissioning of its CBTC solution to
replace the current signalling system both on the existing line and
aboard the trains of line 1 along the newly built extension,
Fermi-Cascine Vica. The option also includes the introduction of
the signalling system in the new depot under
construction.
The signature of the contract was celebrated at
Palazzo Civico of Turin in the presence of the Mayor of Turin,
Stefano Lo Russo, the Councillor for Transport, Infrastructure and
Mobility of Turin, Chiara Foglietta, the Chief Executive of
Infra.To, Massimiliano Cudia and the General Manager of Alstom
Italia and President and CEO of Alstom Ferroviaria, Michele
Viale.
“We are very proud of this agreement signed with
Infra.To, which further confirms Alstom’s expertise in urban
mobility. We are pleased to help give new impetus to local mobility
in Turin with our new environmentally friendly Metropolis trains.
The metros will also be equipped with Alstom's innovative CBTC
solution, which allows for fully automated operation, thus allowing
higher capacity on all lines,” explained Michele Viale.
Line 1 of the Turin Metro is currently 15.1
kilometres long. Upon completion of the section under construction,
it will reach 18.5 kilometres. The Turin Metro represents a core
element of the improvement program put in place by the City of
Turin to upgrade public transport infrastructure. The system
connects Fermi (in Collegno) to Piazza Bengasi with the route
passing through the heart of the city via the stations of Porta
Nuova and Porta Susa.
The new Metropolis trains will have a total
capacity of 320 passengers, who will benefit from greater comfort,
as well as improved accessibility and passenger flow thanks to the
presence of walkthrough gangways between carriages. Passenger
information will be enhanced by multimedia displays and screens.
The metros will be equipped with dedicated areas for people with
reduced mobility and an integrated video protection system will
contribute to the safety of passengers on board.
With flexible configurations, Alstom’s
Metropolis metro trains have served the different needs of
customers worldwide for over 20 years. From small to large gauge
profiles, 2-to-9-car configurations, different voltage systems,
steel or tyre wheels, fully automated or manually operated and
individual interior designs, the trains can be adapted to existing
infrastructure and multiple capacity needs. Metropolis metros
feature low noise levels, high recyclability, and optimised energy
efficiency to minimise environmental impact. Over 30 cities have
ordered or are operating Metropolis trains, including Amsterdam,
Singapore, Panama City, Barcelona, Paris, Riyadh, Dubai, Sydney and
Montreal.
CBTC is an automation system capable of carrying
out remote operational functions, safely monitoring the train
running by controlling the train traction and braking systems, to
manage the circulation of the undergrounds automatically, with
different levels of automation. The solution for Turin's Line 1 is
based on the latest generation, fully driverless train-to-train
CBTC (GOA42). With over 30 years’ expertise in CBTC and over
160 metro lines equipped in over 25 countries, Alstom is known as a
global leader in the mass transit market.
With over 50 years’ experience and 80 systems in
commercial service worldwide, Alstom is a trusted partner to
deliver integrated turnkey rail systems customised for every
mobility need.
