Around 4500 Metropolis cars sold.
Alstom has distributed a Metropolis train ordained for the metro of the city of Los Teques1 in Venezuela. It will take three weeks to transport the train from the port of Le Havre, where it boarded, to its final destination where it will be handed over to the client. Alstom is to deliver to Los Teques a total of 22 Metropolis, consisting of 6 cars each, which will, from the second semester of 2015, begin circulating on Line 1 and on Line 2, currently under construction.
The Metropolis for the city of Los Teques offer wide access doors, increased passenger capacity with corridors for circulating between the cars, internal LED lighting and a CCTV2 surveillance system. They are manufactured at the Alstom site of Valenciennes, which is specialized in the design, development, and manufacture and testing of rail equipment for metros, tram-trains and double-deck trains. Five other Alstom sites in France contribute to the production of these trains: Saint-Ouen for the design, Ornans for the motors, Le Creusot for the bogies, Villeurbanne for the traction system and Tarbes for the on board electronics. Alstom’s Metropolis is world-renowned and its reliability is at the service of most big cities, such Amsterdam, Barcelona, São Paulo, Shanghai and Singapore. Around 4500 Metropolis cars have been sold worldwide since 1998. Source: Alstom
