Marco Contin, managing director of Alstom Transport in Brazil, said: “Following a successful partnership during the first phase of the project to supply systems and equipment, Alstom is pleased to be awarded phase two of the contract by Sao Paulo Metro.

“This enduring partnership aims to provide Sao Paulo citizens with the best transport solutions.”
