Alstom, as leader of a consortium with Colas Rail and Thales, 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. The contract’s value for the consortium is EUR 265 million, of which Alstom’s share of the contract is worth around EUR 190 million.
Alstom will supply and integrate the metro system which is composed of 10 Metropolis trainsets, Urbalis 400, the Alstom’s CBTC 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.
The project will involve six Alstom sites in France: Valenciennes, Saint-Ouen, Le Creusot, Tarbes, Ornans and Villeurbanne.
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.
