Alstom receives an additional order for 103 MF19 new generation metros to modernise the Paris region network - Seite 2

Equipped with video surveillance cameras along the entire length of the trainset and integrated cybersecurity protection, the MF19 trains will enhance passenger safety.

Environmentally friendly, the new metros are eco-designed (20% recycled materials in their production), enabling 98% of the metros to be recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. They will consume 20% less energy than the trains currently in service, thanks notably to 100% electric braking.

MF19 production goes ahead

Production of the MF19 metros has started at Alstom’s Crespin and Valenciennes-Petite Forêt sites, in Hauts-de-France. The first vehicles have been manufactured, the first trainset has been assembled and is about to enter the testing phase.

The MF 19 metro is designed and assembled in France. Eight of Alstom’s 16 sites in France participate in the project:

• Valenciennes-Petite Forêt and Crespin are in charge of studies, design, trainset assembly, tests/validations, and homologation,
• Crespin and Le Creusot produce the bogies,
• Ornans, the motors,
• Tarbes, the powertrain equipment,
• Toulouse, the development of electrical harnesses,
• Villeurbanne, on-board electronics,
• Aix-en-Provence, IT security.
  
  

A total of 2,300 Alstom employees, including 700 engineers, are working on the project.
