Alstom wins renovation contract in Egypt

Each unit is composed by one trailer car framed by two
motorcars, which sum up to 156 cars. These cars were delivered
by Alstom in 1980. The renovation work will cover the brake
system as well as the electrical and traction equipment. The
work will be carried out over a period of 5 years and will take
place mainly in the Tura workshop which belongs to the Cairo
Metro Organization.



The signature of the contract was carried during the
inauguration of the New El Marg metro station on
Line1, in front of the media and numerous officials.



This contract opens the door to spare parts contracts in
relation with the renovation work as well as future
opportunities for the renovation of some other 46 units
delivered by Alstom in 1987.
