Operator RATP has chosen Alstom to deliver its automatic train operation system for Line 6 of the Paris metro.
The contract consists of two parts: the on-board system, which carries out the automatic train operation, and the radio system, which transmits data between the train and the ground.
Alstom is in charge of the development, validation, industrialisation, installation, testing and commissioning of both batches.
