Alstom and its joint venture Shanghai Alstom Transport Electrical Equipment (SATEE) have won a €28m contract from Nanjing Metro Group in China to supply traction systems and associated services to the phase one of the Line 4 metro line.
Scheduled to enter commercial operation in October 2015, the Nanjing Metro Line 4 will be 34km long, comprising 18 stations, and link the western and eastern parts of the city.
Under the new deal, Alstom and SATEE will install traction systems, which feature the latest technology, called OPTONIX, on 174 metro cars of Nanjing metro line 4.
The deal will see SATEE deliver the propulsion inverter, auxiliary convertor, brake resistor, master controller and traction motor, while key components will be offered by Alstom.
Designed and developed by Alstom for the Chinese market, OPTONIX features lightweight and compact design, which helps in proving high performance train operations.
