Alstom unveils Riyadh metro train mock-up

摘要

A full-size mock-up of a Metropolis train for lines 4, 5 and 6 of the Riyadh metro was presented in the Saudi capital by Alstom on June 8 to the governor of Riyadh, Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and the transport minister HE Suleiman Al Hamdan. Alstom is supplying 69 two-car 36m-long Metropolis trains for the Riyadh metro. Each train will have three classes: first, family and single class. The driverless trains are fully motorised to enable them to cope with gradients of up to 6%. The air-conditioned trains will have ergonomic searing, LED lightning, and what Alstom describes as an advanced passenger information system.
