long-term commitment to Taipei commuters
10 July 2020 – The Alstom-led
consortium with Taiwanese engineering and contracting services
company CTCI reached contractual close on 23 June 2020 for the
Phase Two extension of Taipei Metro Line 7. The contract1 is valued
at close to €424 million, with an Alstom share of approximately
€248 million.Phase One, which was awarded by Systemwide E&M
Project Office Department of Rapid Transit Systems of Taipei City
Government (SEMPO) in 2018, has been extended to deliver a seamless
customer experience on the new metro line, spanning an additional
13.3km with 13 stations as part of Phase Two. When fully completed
around late 2028, the 22.8-kilometre medium-capacity metro line,
also known as Wanda Zhonghe Shulin Line, will connect Taipei City
to New Taipei City more seamlessly. In addition, passengers can
look forward to more convenience travelling between the various
districts within New Taipei City such as Chong-he, Shu-lin,
Tu-chen, Xin-zhuang.
Under the contract, Alstom will be responsible
for the design, supply, manufacturing, testing and commissioning of
16 additional fully automated, four-car Metropolis trains, Urbalis
400 Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling system,
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, as well as
platform screen doors. The trains will be manufactured in Alstom’s
Taubaté factory in Brazil, while the signalling system will be
delivered by its Saint-Ouen site in France and Bangalore site in
India. Alstom and CTCI will also jointly carry out project
management and system integration. CTCI will provide the track
work, power supply, depot equipment, Telecommunication and
Ticketing systems.
“Taipei Metro Line 7, which interchanges with
five other lines2, will be a game changer for the travelling public
of Taipei, and Alstom is delighted to continue to be a part of this
iconic project. The success of this project extension with SEMPO
positions us as a reliable and trusted partner, established for the
long term in Taiwan and well beyond our 40 years of active
presence,” said Ling Fang, Senior Vice President of Alstom
Asia-Pacific.
