Siemens has been awarded the contract to supply the driverless train control system for an extension of line 14 on the Paris Métro.
Having supplied the CBTC system for the original line 14 route, Siemens has now been handed a €45 million contract to deliver the operational control system for the line’s northern extension as part of the new Grand Paris Express orbital network.
The extension is on course to be completed in 2019.
An Eiffage Travaux Publics and Razel-Bec joint venture was appointed in March to complete the civils work on the extension. The hope is that the project will free up capacity on Line 13
