October
2021 – Alstom
has been selected by Société du Grand Paris, in agreement with
Île-de-France Mobilités, to supply the rolling stock for Line 18 of
the “Grand Paris Express” network (in France). The contract also
includes solutions for driverless automated systems, data
transmission, centralised supervision controls and the overall
integration of the transport system.The contract is worth
approximately 230 million euro1. The contract is co-financed by
Société du Grand Paris and Île-de-France Mobilités, which is
responsible for the rolling stock and on-board equipment.
Line 18 is a 35-kilometre automatic metro line,
including 14 kilometres of overhead lines, which will eventually
link Versailles to Orly airport in 30 minutes, passing through the
Saclay plateau, well-known for its major education and research
centres.
"Alstom teams are especially proud to win the
contract for Line 18 of the Île-de-France network. After the
Toulouse metro system, awarded to us last year, this contract award
is further recognition of our expertise in integrated turnkey metro
systems and digital mobility. This contract also points to the
renewed confidence of our customers, Île-de-France Mobilités and
Société du Grand Paris," said Jean-Baptiste
Eyméoud, President of Alstom France.
A complete automated metro signalling
solutionAlstom is deploying a complete signalling system
for Line 18 of the Île-de-France network, comprising three types of
technology:
- Urbalis Fluence automatic train
control, an innovative solution based on direct train-to-train
communication, brings the intelligence of the system on-board the
trains and improves the line’s overall performance by reducing
intervals between trains.
- Iconis centralised controls allow
for automated traffic management with a high level of operational
flexibility, enabling operators to develop advanced regulation
scenarios.
- The data transmission system, based
on robust, proven products, offers very high availability.
Today, 112 metro lines worldwide, including 68
in commercial service, are equipped with Alstom’s CBTC2 solutions.
Eighteen of these are fully automated driverless operation
solutions. Alstom's solution for Line 18 will achieve very high
levels of performance and operational
availability.Acting as
general integratorFor Line 18,
Alstom will also act as general integrator, which includes the
verification of the tests for the different sub-assemblies and the
organisation of the overall system tests, including the functional
realisation of the overall tests and the verification of the entire
transport system’s performance.
Alstom is a world leader in integrated metro
systems with extensive experience in the design, construction,
commissioning, and delivery of more than 80 turnkey systems in
commercial service worldwide. Singapore's Circle Line and Panama
City's Lines 1 and 2 are among Alstom's success stories in
integrated metro projects, the most recent being the Dubai Metro
“Route 2020”, which opened in July 2020.
Proven rolling
stock, suited to
the specific requirements of Line 18The
rolling stock for Line 18, which belongs to the same range as
Alstom’s Metropolis metro for lines 15, 16 and 17 of the
Île-de-France network, optimises time and development costs while
making it possible to share the same architecture and components.
This new rolling stock is suited to the specific requirements and
characteristics of Line 18. Its architecture and interior fittings
have been designed to maximise train capacity while enhancing
comfort, accessibility, and passenger flow. It features wide
corridors, easy circulation throughout the train, three wide doors
per car and spacious panoramic openings at each end. It also
includes multiple sources of light, numerous passenger information
systems (including digital route maps), and USB sockets, making
journeys ‘cosy and connected’.At peak times, each train will be
able to carry 498 passengers (54 seated) at commercial speeds of up
to 100 km/h.
How the French sites are contributing to
the contract for Line
18Alstom will mobilise its centres of expertise in digital
mobility and signalling. With nearly 2,100 employees, Alstom is the
largest employer in this field in France. The Saint-Ouen and
Villeurbanne sites will be responsible for developing and deploying
automatic operation, data transmission and centralised control
systems, as well as the general integration of the transport
system. For the rolling stock, the Valenciennes Petite-Forêt site
will be responsible for project management, studies, development,
production, assembly, and validation of the trains.

Alstom's 2021/22 financial year.
