of Cluj-Napoca in Romania
- Alstom to
provide system integration, signalling and telecommunication, power
supply, track work, platform doors, security and control centre and
cybersecurity platform
- Alstom’s
Urbalis CBTC solution to enable first fully
automated metro project in Romania
- Alstom’s contract share worth
around €400 million
25 May 2023 - Alstom,
global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has signed a
contract with the Cluj-Napoca City Hall for the construction of
Cluj-Napoca Metro Line 1, in the Transylvania region of Romania, as
part of a consortium with the civil works companies Gulermak and
Arcada. The full value of this state-of-the-art turnkey project
comes to around €1.8 billion, with Alstom’s share reaching
approximately €400 million.
Alstom will be responsible for the system
integration, signalling and telecommunication, power supply and
track work, platform doors, security and control centre, as well as
implementing proven cybersecurity throughout the system. Alstom
will deploy communications-based train control (CBTC) supporting
the highest grade of automation 4 (GoA4) for the first time in
Romania, using its proven, high-capacity CBTC signalling solution
Urbalis.
“I am extremely proud that Alstom will take part
in the construction of the Cluj-Napoca Metro. It is another
milestone in Alstom’s long-standing presence and expertise in
Romania. This is a very ambitious and innovative infrastructure
project for the country. Cluj-Napoca Metro is one of the biggest
turnkey projects in Europe, covering a solid portfolio of
signalling and infrastructure solutions that showcase Alstom’s
leadership in sustainable urban mobility. Furthermore it provides
an exciting opportunity to innovate in the Romanian market with the
driverless metro – our international track record gives us the
unique expertise needed for such a pioneering project,” says Gian
Luca Erbacci, President of Alstom Europe Region.
Line 1 of the new metro, to be completed over 8
years, will cover 21 kilometres and 19 underground stations. The
first section, totalling just over 9 kilometres, 9 stations and an
above-ground depot, will be financed through Romania’s National
Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), and will be completed in 4
years.
Upon completion, the Cluj-Napoca Metro will be
Romania’s first fully automated metro line. Deploying Alstom’s
turnkey metro system featuring integrated control centre, Urbalis
CBTC technology supporting driverless operation and high-capacity
service at 90 seconds headways, and state-of-the-art cybersecurity
platform, will bring frequent, reliable and energy-efficient
operation to the west-east connection and greatly improve green
mobility across the city of Cluj-Napoca. With over 50 years’
experience and 80 turnkey systems in commercial service globally,
Alstom is the world’s leading partner for delivering integrated
turnkey systems suited to every mobility need. Recent metro system
highlights include Montreal REM, Riyadh Metro, Athens Line 4, Grand
