9 March
2022 - Alstom, global leader in smart and
sustainable mobility, has won a €355 million contract to provide
its Urbalis CBTC signalling system, along with 20 years of
maintenance and 37 Metropolis trains to Santiago, Chile. The new
trains, combined with the CBTC signalling system, will help
optimise the capacity, throughput, and efficiency of Metro de
Santiago’s new Line 7, whose inauguration is planned for the end of
2027.
"This contract is validation of Alstom’s smart
and sustainable mobility innovations and advanced technology. Our
trains and signalling system will improve not only the quality of
mobility and transportation in Chile, by ensuring reliable, safe,
and available transportation, but it will also provide the city of
Santiago with an efficient environmentally-friendly alternative to
road transport for millions of passengers," says Denis Girault,
Managing Director of Alstom in Chile.
With flexibility that offers a variety of
configurations, Alstom’s Metropolis range of metro trains has been
in operation worldwide for over 20 years. Each of the 37 102-metre
automatic Metropolis trains that Alstom will deliver to Santiago
Metro will have a capacity to transport up to 1,250 passengers and
deliver an improved passenger experience. The metros will feature 4
wide doors on either side to facilitate passenger ingress and
egress, as well as wide aisles and open gangways between cars to
ensure passenger fluidity inside and in between cars. Santiago’s
Metropolis trains will also feature air-conditioning and an
advanced passenger information system that displays route and
station information, while security features such as
high-resolution external cameras and intercoms that maintain
passenger communication with the control centre will enhance
passenger and infrastructure safety. Alstom will manufacture the
new trains at its Taubaté plant in Brazil, with the first cars
expected to be delivered in 2025.
Alstom will deliver its Urbalis CBTC signalling
system across 26 kilometres of the line. Urbalis reduces the
headway between trains, thus maximising the system’s capacity, and
helps improve energy efficiency of operations. Alstom will also
integrate advanced rail cybersecurity measures to improve the
protection of Line 7’s train control systems for both trains and
signalling.
Currently under construction, Metro de
Santiago’s Line 7 will be 26 kilometres long and have 19 stations.
It will cross through seven communes: Renca, Cerro Navia, Quinta
Normal, Santiago, Providencia, Vitacura and Las Condes; three of
which are incorporated for the first time within the Metro network
(Renca, Cerro Navia and Vitacura), benefiting an estimated
population of 1 million 365 thousand inhabitants. When Line 7 is
operational, the expected travel time between the future terminal
stations is estimated to be 37 minutes, which means a 54% reduction
in travel time compared to what it takes today through the bus
system (approximately 80 minutes). The investment amount for Line 7
amounts to $2,528 million US.
With over 30 years’ expertise in CBTC and
over 160 metro lines equipped in over 25 countries, Alstom is known
as a strong leader in the mass transit market.
