Rome

The contract with Metropolitana di Roma for the supply of driverless metros for Metro Rome Line C was awarded on February 2006 and delivery of 30 six-car driverless trains followed soon after.

Line C is the first metro in Rome with a "Driverless" Integral Automation System, which allows the operator to manage the line automatically, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.

Each train is composed of six intercommunicating cars with 194 seats and dedicated spaces for people with reduced mobility and bicycles. Each car has two surveillance cameras and two-way intercom systems connected to the operation centre. The average service speed is 35 km/h, with a maximum speed of 90 km/h.
