This first delivery is part of a global €204 million
project signed in September 2005, with a consortium led by
ALSTOM, which share for the supply of 6 trainsets, traction
electrification and part of the signaling is worth €90
million.
The Los Teques independent line completes the existing metro
network for 9.8 km from Las Adjuntas to El Tambor on the
outskirts of Caracas. The first track will be in service in
October 2006 and the second, at the beginning of 2008.

capital for the last 23 years and has so far delivered 600 cars
for metro lines 1, 2, 3 and 4. The company also provided rolling
stock midlife overhaul to 400 metro cars, as well as to power
supply equipment of line 1.
