Alstom France president Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud said: “After metro lines 15, 16 and 17, the Société du Grand Paris renews its confidence in Alstom’s expertise and experience in the field of tracklaying. Alstom thus becomes a major player in the construction of Line 18 of the future Paris metro, with this order and the one for the rolling stock and the automatic control system obtained earlier.”

This project will involve nearly 250 employees from Alstom’s Infrastructure France teams, both on the Line 18 worksite and at the Alstom site in Saint-Ouen.

Recently, Ile-de-France Mobilités and RATP selected Alstom to supply 37 Citadis X05 tramways for the T1-Line in the Ile-de-France region.
