Alstom receives an additional order for
103 MF19 new generation metros to modernise the Paris region
network
- RATP, on
behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités, has placed an order with Alstom
for 103 additional MF19 trainsets worth over €800
million.
- These new
trains, 100% financed by Île-de-France Mobilités, will be deployed
on lines 13, 12 and 8 from 2027. Eventually, the MF19 trains will
operate on eight lines of the Paris metro network (lines 3, 3bis,
7, 7bis, 8, 10, 12 and 13).
- Modern,
reliable, and eco-responsible, the MF19 metro puts technology at
the service of passenger comfort and safety.
07 March 2024 – Alstom, global
leader in smart and sustainable mobility, will supply Île-de-France
Mobilités and RATP with 103 new MF19 trainsets, which is the new
generation metro on rail, for a total contract value of more than
€800 million, 100% financed by Île-de-France Mobilités. This new
fleet will replace the existing rolling stock on lines 13, 12 and 8
of the Île-de-France metro as of 2027.
This additional order is part of the framework
agreement signed in December 2019 between RATP (on behalf of
Île-de-France Mobilités) and Alstom for the delivery of up to 410
MF19 trainsets. The MF19 will eventually equip 8 lines of the
Île-de-France metro (lines 3, 3bis, 7, 7bis, 8, 10, 12, 13).
In 2019, an initial batch of 44 trainsets was
ordered which will be gradually deployed on lines 10, 7bis and 3bis
from 2025 onwards. This makes a total of 147 MF19 metros that have
now been ordered to date, demonstrating Île-de-France Mobilités’
and RATP’s renewed confidence in this modern rolling stock.
103 5-car trains to renew lines 13, 12
and 8
The fleet of 103 additional trainsets will
comprise
- 67 trains for line 13,
- 22 trains for line 12,
- 14 trains for line 8.
These 103 trainsets will all have a driver’s
cab. As the MF19 trains are fully reversible to adapt to the needs
and developments of the lines, these can be converted into
automatic metros if the lines are automated.
A comfortable, reliable, safe and
environmentally friendly metro equipped with innovations to serve
passengers as well as the operator
Each train will have a “boa” configuration (open
circulation without separations between cars) and will feature
interior fittings designed to optimise passenger flows. They will
feature modern passenger information systems, large picture windows
and 100% LED lighting. They will also offer a pleasant travel
experience, with ergonomic seating, heating and air conditioning,
reduced noise emissions and USB sockets for recharging mobile
devices.
Equipped with video surveillance cameras along
the entire length of the trainset and integrated cybersecurity
protection, the MF19 trains will enhance passenger safety.
Environmentally friendly, the new metros are
eco-designed (20% recycled materials in their production), enabling
98% of the metros to be recyclable at the end of their lifecycle.
They will consume 20% less energy than the trains currently in
service, thanks notably to 100% electric braking.
MF19 production goes ahead
Production of the MF19 metros has started at
Alstom’s Crespin and Valenciennes-Petite Forêt sites, in
Hauts-de-France. The first vehicles have been manufactured, the
first trainset has been assembled and is about to enter the testing
phase.
The MF 19 metro is designed and assembled in
France. Eight of Alstom’s 16 sites in France participate in the
project:
- Valenciennes-Petite Forêt and
Crespin are in charge of studies, design, trainset assembly,
tests/validations, and homologation,
- Crespin and Le Creusot produce the
bogies,
- Ornans, the motors,
- Tarbes, the powertrain
equipment,
- Toulouse, the development of
electrical harnesses,
- Villeurbanne, on-board
electronics,
- Aix-en-Provence, IT security.
A total of 2,300 Alstom employees, including 700
engineers, are working on the project.
