For the purposes of type approving the MP89CC5V rolling stock, ALSTOM’s Reichshoffen site requested Eurailtest and its partner, the RATP Test and Measurement Laboratory (LEM), to carry out dynamic and static performance tests. Alstom’s project involves transforming the six-car version of the MP89 rolling stock (Paris Metro Line 4) into a five-car version that will run on Line 6. The OCTYS train control system is also included in this transformation.
Performance and safety tests on MP89 rolling stock
Modification of this rolling stock requires validation of the safety and performance parameters. In this context and under the coordination of the teams responsible for the smooth running of these activities, the Mechanical Section of the LEM conducted various types of tests:
To conduct these tests, the trainsets tested are equipped with:
These test campaigns were carried out in several stages between January and September 2020 at ‘CEF1’ test ring at Petite-Forêt and on the RATP rail network.
The Eurailtest and LEM teams set to work on a tight schedule and, despite the prevailing health situation, managed to successfully complete this major project for ALSTOM and RATP.
