Alstom has announced that it will supply the Métropole Européenne de Lille (MEL) with fifteen additional 52-meter long new-generation automatic metro trainsets, at a cost of around 210 million euros, in addition to the 27 trainsets already ordered.

The new trains will run on line 1, and will be equipped with the Urbalis Fluence automatic control and signaling system, which relies on direct train-to-train communication and embeds the system's intelligence on board.

Developed on the basis of Alstom's rubber-tyred metro solutions, the trains will 'benefit from greater comfort, enhanced accessibility and improved passenger information'. Each will be able to accommodate up to 545 passengers.
