PARIS Transport Authority (RATP) and Ile-de-France Mobility have awarded a €157m contract to Alstom for an additional 20 MP14 rubber-tyred metro trains for operation on Line 11.
The contract is part of a €20bn 15-year framework deal agreed in March 2015 to supply up 217 MP14 trains, starting with an initial batch of 35 trains, which are still in production for lines 4 and 14. RATP exercised an option for 20 more trains in December 2016.Alstom says the five-cars trains will consume 45% less energy than MP59 trains currently operating on Line 11 as they have 100% electric regenerative braking.
The trains have full-width inter-car gangways and will be equipped with ergonomic seating, passenger information screens and dynamic maps, LED lighting and CCTV.
