Alstom wins its first metro system contract in
Vietnam
17 January
2017 - Alstom, as leader of a consortium with Colas Rail and
Thales, today signed a contract with Hanoi Metropolitan Railway
Management Board (MRB) to supply a metro system for Hanoi metro
line 3 to start commercial operation by the end of 2021. This is
the first integrated metro system contract for Alstom in Vietnam.
Alstom's share of the contract is worth around €190
million[1].
Hanoi Line 3 - which is 12.5
km-long - is the second metro line under construction in the city.
As part of this contract, 12 stations and one depot at Nhon for
trains maintenance will be built. Once operational, the line is
expected to carry 8,600 People Per Hour and Per Direction (PPHPD).
This capacity will be progressively increased within 10 years after
its operation commencement.
Alstom will supply and integrate
the metro system which is composed of 10 Metropolis trainsets,
Urbalis 400, the Alstom's CBTC[2] solution
which controls trains movement, enabling them to run at higher
frequencies and speeds in total safety, as well as the power supply
and depot equipment together with Colas Rail[3].
"In the context
of the France Vietnam collaboration, we are delighted to sign this
contract which aims to improve Hanoi's transportation system and
reduce the growing traffic in the city. With its advanced and
sustainable technology and 16 years' expertise in metro integrated
solutions, Alstom is the preferred partner to provide Vietnam with
a greener and smarter transportation system" said Jean-François
Beaudoin, Senior Vice President Alstom Asia Pacific.
The project will involve six
Alstom sites in France: Valenciennes, Saint-Ouen, Le Creusot,
Tarbes, Ornans and Villeurbanne.

the supply of integrated urban mobility systems, has been awarded
18 integrated metro projects in over a decade in cities such as
