CAF has signed a new contract with the Rome City Council for 15 six-car metro units in a deal worth 113 million euros.
These new units will run on the Metropolitan Line B of the Immortal City between Laurentina and Rebibbia, as well as on the Northern extension of this line, B1 – the first section of which was opened this summer with three stations.
The new units will join a fleet of 53 CAF trains delivered to Rome’s rail network since the signing of the original contract in 2002.
A CAF spokesman said: “This is a confirmation of the company’s determination to play a greater role in the Italian market, where, in addition to the various successive contracts executed for the Rome Metro in the last few years. The company is also supplying eight Civity EMUs for Trieste and the Sardinia DMUs, and signed a contract late last year for the supply of 250 bogies for the Milan Metro.”
