Alstom to supply 20 additional metros to
Île-de-France Mobilités
and the RATP
19 February 2018
- Alstom will supply Île-de-France Mobilités and the
RATP[1] with 20
MP14 metros, consisting of 5 cars each, for line 11 of the Paris
metro for an amount worth 157 million euros. These options form
part of the MP14 contract signed in March 2015 between Alstom and
the RATP (mandated by Île-de-France Mobilités) concerning the
delivery of up to 217 MP14 metros over 15 years for a total amount
of more than 2 billion euros. The first firm part of the contract
was for 35 metros. A first option for 20 metros was exercised in
December 2016.
The new trains, which will replace
the existing metros of Line 11 of the Paris metro, have a brand-new
design and unprecedented levels of comfort and security. They will
be equipped with new ergonomic seating, screens and dynamic maps
for improved passenger information, LED lighting and video
protection. The absence of separations between the carriages allows
for total circulation inside the metro, thus optimising passenger
flows.
The trains will consume 45% less
energy than MP59 metros currently running on line 11 of Paris
network. Their 100% electric braking system recovers energy and
reinjects it into the network in the form of electricity, thus
limiting the emission of fine particles from the brake pads.
"While the first
MP14 metros ordered at the beginning of 2015, in their automatic
versions for lines 4 and 14, take shape in our production site at
Valenciennes, I am delighted by the renewed confidence of our
customers, Île-de-France Mobilités and the RATP," said
Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of Alstom in France.
Seven Alstom sites are responsible
for designing and producing the MP14 metro: Valenciennes, Le
Creusot, Ornans, Villeurbanne, Tarbes, Saint-Ouen and
Aix-en-Provence.
