ALSTOM wins turnkey metro contract

The Los Teques line is an independent line running 9.8 km
from Las Adjuntas at the south end of Line 2 to El Tambor in
the centre of Los Teques. It will relieve congested roads and
complement the existing metro network. The first line will be
put into service in October 2006 and the second line at the
beginning of 2008.

ALSTOM will supply six trainsets, the traction electrification
and the signaling equipment for the Los Teques line in
continuation of metro line 2. ALSTOM will also be in charge of
the co-ordination of this project with SGTE as co-leader.

Five ALSTOM sites will be involved in this contract :
Valenciennes, Tarbes, Villeurbanne, Saint-Ouen in France and
Charleroi in Belgium.

ALSTOM has been a key supplier to the metro of the Venezuelan
capital for the last 30 years and has so far delivered 600 cars
for metro lines 1,2 and 3. The company also did the rolling
stock maintenance of 400 metro cars and provided signaling
equipment and power supply for these lines.
