Alstom’s first rolling stock contract in Romania: a proven,
world-class train for the travelling public of Bucharest
3 November
2020 – Alstom has been awarded a contract by
Metrorex SA, the state-owned Bucharest metro operator, to provide a
total of up to 30 Metropolis trains to run on the newly built Line
5 of the city’s metro network, delivered in two lots. The value of
the contract for the first 13 trains is over €100 million. This
contract can be extended with an option for another 17 trains,
based on customer’s order, the total estimated value of the project
could go up to €240 million.
The first train will be delivered in less than
29 months and will circulate on the first section of the new metro
line, that is already in operation. The other 12 trains of the
first lot will be delivered immediately after the homologation of
the first one, while the optional lot of 17 units will be delivered
based on a firm request from the Bucharest metro operator.
“We are very proud of this award, especially as
it will see Alstom trains running for the first time in Romania.
Alstom’s world-class metro expertise has been appreciated all over
the world over the last 30 years and now the Romanian passengers
will be able to enjoy it as well. We are happy to see our
leadership in train production, in addition to maintenance,
recognised by our Romanian customer,” said Gabriel Stanciu, Alstom
Managing Director for Romania, Bulgaria and Republic of
Moldova.
Each of the six-car trains for Bucharest will
have 216 seats in a longitudinal seating arrangement and provide
two special access areas for passengers with limited mobility. The
trains have a specific configuration, customised for Bucharest
metro: stainless steel car body shells, 114 metres long and 3
metres wide, providing a total capacity of 1,200 passengers. The
final configuration, colours and finishes will be fully customised
according to the requirements of the customer, to be established
during the collaborative design stage. The trains will have onboard
CBTC units, to be compatible with the latest trackside signalling
technology.
Passengers will benefit from a range of
innovations to make the joureys more efficient and more
comfortable, including internal noise attenuation, four double
doors per car per side, large windows, LED lighting and real-time
passenger information, such as dynamic route map. The trains have
features that allow for optimum passenger flow: wide doors, large
gangways and dedicated areas for people with disabilities.
Alstom’s Metropolis range of metro trains has
been in operation for over 20 years worldwide, its flexibility
offering a wide range of possible configurations. Among Alstom’s 60
metro customers around the world feature the cities of Paris, New
York, London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Riyadh, Dubai, Sydney and
Montreal.
