class="entry-title fusion-post-title">Alstom successfully delivers the first trainset for Taipei Wanda Line</h2><div class="post-content"><p>Alstom has announced the successful delivery of the first fully automated, four-car Metropolis train to the Department of Rapid Transit Systems, Taipei City Government, for the Wanda-Zhonghe-Shulin Line. The 22.8-kilometre medium-capacity metro line will enable seamless connections between Taipei and New Taipei City, reducing travel time by 30 minutes once fully operational. Passengers will benefit from more convenient travel between districts in New Taipei City, including Zhonghe, Shulin, Tucheng, and Xinzhuang.</p><p>The handover ceremony was held at Jin-Cheng Depot and jointly hosted by Chiang Wan-an, Mayor of Taipei City, and Hou Yu-ih, Mayor of New Taipei City. Representatives from the Bureau Français de Taipei, the Alstom-led consortium, and Taiwanese engineering and contracting services company CTCI were also in attendance.</p><p>Ling Fang, President, Alstom Asia Pacific said, “With the Wanda-Zhonghe-Shulin Line, we are not just building a metro line; we are enhancing connectivity, reducing travel times, and promoting sustainable urban living. This project is a significant step forward in our commitment to improving public transport and fostering economic growth for the communities we serve.”</p><p>“We are delighted to deliver the first fully automated Metropolis train for the Wanda Zhonghe Shulin Line,” said Toby Tiberghien, Managing Director of Alstom East Asia. “This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing Taiwan’s urban mobility. Our state-of-the-art trains will significantly improve connectivity between Taipei and New Taipei City, providing passengers a more efficient and seamless travel experience.”</p><p>In partnership with CTCI, the Alstom-led consortium was awarded a contract to provide an integrated metro system by the Systemwide E&M Project Office, Department of Rapid Transit Systems of Taipei City Government (SEMPO). Phase One, signed in 2018, is 9.5 km long with 9 stations and Phase Two, signed in 2020, covers an additional 13.3km with 13 stations.</p><p>As part of the contract, Alstom will supply 35 Metropolis metro trains, the Urbalis Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) driverless signalling system, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, and platform screen doors. Alstom and CTCI will collaborate on project management and system integration. CTCI will provide the track work, power supply, depot equipment, telecommunication, and ticketing systems. The Metropolis metro trainset is manufactured at Alstom’s industrial unit in Taubaté, Brazil.</p><p>The Wanda Zhonghe Shulin Line, which interchanges with four other lines, will be a game-changer for commuters in Taipei and further cements Alstom’s commitment to Taiwan, where it has maintained an active presence for over 40 years.</p><p>With over 50 years’ experience and over 90 systems in commercial service worldwide, Alstom is the global leader and a trusted partner to deliver integrated turnkey rail systems customised for every mobility need.</p></div><div
