Thales has signed a contract to provide a complete telecommunications system for Line 3 of the Hanoi metro, the first of five lines planned for the Vietnamese capital.
Under the contract, Thales will provide all the train to track communication systems, as well as a line command & control centre for traffic management, energy distribution, video surveillance, passenger information and telephone services.
This year, a French consortium including Alstom (leader), Colas Rail and Thales signed the contract, valued at EUR 265 million, with Hanoi’s Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB). Under the contract, consortium leader Alstom will supply rolling stock, signalling systems, power systems and depot infrastructure in partnership with Colas Rail.
Hanoi Line 3 will run from the West of the city to the South. The 12.5 km line (8.5 km elevated and 4 km underground) will comprise 12 stations and is scheduled to enter service at the end of 2021.
