Meneghino Metro

The Meneghino Metro is equipped with an integral air conditioning system, on board an advanced audio-video information system for stop/connection announcements and an integrated passenger information system with video surveillance devices.

In addition, the structure, bogies and doors have been designed to provide a noiseless ride and coaches are fully connected to provide a unique large, comfortable and safe space for metro transit passengers.

Contract

After an initial supply of 27 trains, in 2008 an additional 13 trains were ordered for a total of 40 trains. The trains are made up of six permanently coupled coaches, including two identical, functionally independent traction units, with a driver's cab at each end. Each traction unit consists of two identical motor cars and a trailer with driver's cab (Rp+M1+M2). All the coaches are intercommunicating and the trains can be operated on the three lines (M1, M2, M3) with different power supply voltage (750 Vdc/1500 Vdc) and different signalling systems.
