EMOVA has contracted Alstom to overhaul its fleet of 60 Metropolis 300 model cars for the Buenos Aires Metro.
The 300 cars make up 10 trains that serve customers on lines D and H in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The contract has a duration of three years and will provide users with a more comfortable travel experience.
In addition, it will generate local jobs, with Alstom carrying out the work in Los Hornos, La Plata.
Ernesto Garberoglio, General Manager of Alstom Argentina said:This contract is the first maintenance agreement for the Alstom Metropolis 300 concluded between EMOVA and Alstom since 2016, when Alstom sold a fleet of 180 cars (30 trains) to Subterráneos de Buenos Aires (SBASE). This new contract covers 60 of these cars, which serve lines D and H of the Buenos Aires Metro and around 50 collaborators from our company will be assigned to carry out these tasks.
To support the network, Alstom equips three of the six Buenos Aires Metro lines with signalling systems and rolling stock of the Metropolis 100 and Metropolis 300 models.
