Alstom has been awarded a contract worth EUR 31 million to supply traction systems and train control monitoring systems (TCMS) for 156 metro cars of the Shanghai line 10 phase 2. The line is the first driverless metro line in Shanghai and is expected to start revenue service in 2018.
All traction systems and TCMS for phase 2 will be manufactured by Alstom’s local JV Shanghai Alstom Transport Electrical Equipment Co. Ltd. (SATEE), with motors manufactured by another Alstom local JV-Xi’an Alstom Yongji Electric Equipment Co. (XAYEECO).
Alstom Tarbes and Villeurbanne sites in France will provide components, and Alstom Sesto site in Italy as well as Charleroi in Belgium and Valenciennes in France will provide software for the traction, auxiliary converter and TCMS system.
The second phase of the project will add 10 kilometers and 6 stations to the existing line that is in service since 10 with 36 km and 31 stations. For phase 1, Alstom supplied the signaling and traction systems, including auxiliary system TCMS, and was also involved in the metro design.
