20 July
2021 – Alstom, global leader in
smart and sustainable mobility, has been selected by ViaMobilidade
Linhas 8 e 9 concessionaire1 to deliver 36 eight-car trains which
will provide service on the 8-Diamante and 9-Esmerala lines in São
Paulo, Brazil. The new trains are part of the package of
improvements and obligations taken on by the concessionaire that
recently acquired the responsibility to operate and maintain both
metropolitan train lines for 30 years.
This new Metropolis fleet is made up of the same
model as the 9000 Series trains that Companhia Paulista de Trens
Metropolitano (CPTM) currently operates on lines 12 and 13 and will
operate with Alstom's Automatic Train Control (ATC) solution. Made
of stainless steel, one of the main advantages is their durability:
the car body shells last more than 40 years and are lighter
compared to carbon steel models. In addition, they consume less
energy and, consequently, are more energy efficient. Each train can
carry 2,600 passengers.
The trains will have doors and corridors that
offer excellent passenger exchange and freedom of movement, in
addition to spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility. Large
windows and doors will provide a clear view of the outside,
ensuring passengers have a smooth, safe, and comfortable journey.
The trains will also feature modern technologies: passenger
counting, dynamic line maps, monitors and video surveillance, as
well as fire detection and extinguishing systems.
“We are immensely pleased that ViaMobilidade has
chosen Alstom to manufacture the new trains for Lines 8 and 9,
supporting the State Government’s plans to provide safe, reliable
and efficient public transit for passengers in São Paolo. This
reinforces Alstom’s position as a truly global mobility provider
with innovative solutions that are calibrated for each customer's
needs,” says Pierre Bercaire, Managing
Director of Alstom
Brazil.
Metropolitan trains lines 8 and 9 transport more
than one million passengers a day, according to data
pre-coronavirus pandemic. Line 8, which connects Júlio Prestes to
Amador Bueno, is 41.6 kilometers long and has 22 stations, serving
the municipalities of São Paulo, Osasco, Carapicuíba, Barueri,
Jandira and Itapevi. Line 9 connects Osasco to Grajaú, running 32
kilometers with 18 stations, serving the cities of São Paulo and
Osasco.
Produced at Alstom's industrial unit in Taubaté
in the state of São Paulo, Alstom will in invest in a new
production line that will double the plant's capacity and will
contribute to the creation of more than 500 direct jobs. In
addition to producing the Metropolis cars for Sao Paulo, the
Taubaté plant will also produce Metropolis cars for Bucharest,
Romania, and Taipei, Taiwan.
With a flexibility that offers a wide range of
possible configurations, Alstom’s Metropolis range of trains has
been in operation for over 20 years worldwide. Over 30 cities have
ordered or are operating Metropolis trains, including Amsterdam,
Singapore, Panama City, Barcelona, Paris, Riyadh, Dubai, Sydney,
Montreal, Rio de Janeiro and Santiago.
