'We are proud to see the MP14 metro running in Ile-de-
MP14, which has entered commercial service on Line 14 and is financed by Ile-de-France-Mobilites, is an automated, rubber-tyred metro made up of eight cars. This state-of-the-art metro is designed to improve passenger experience while reconciling performance, energy efficiency and ease of maintenance, in order to keep costs under control throughout its lifecycle.
MP14 offers an unprecedented level of comfort and safety thanks to its interior layout and seats with a design based on the theme of the alcove, creating both conviviality and privacy. Vast reception areas offer accessibility to all passengers, with dedicated areas and boomerang-shaped seats to improve the fluidity and capacity of the trains. MP14 also has LED lighting efficiently distributed throughout the entire metro to provide a sense of security and banish all areas of shadow. The supports and steadying points are compliant with standards and increase comfort inside the train. Warm and cool ventilation helps to provide a sense of wellbeing, whatever the season. MP14 also provides comprehensive video protection and dynamic passenger information on board. The design of this new metro is underlined by signature lighting on the front end of the train.
MP14's 100% electrical braking system recuperates energy and re-injects it into the network as electricity, while limiting the emission of fine particles caused by the mechanical brakes. The system reduces the energy consumption of the metros, as well as air pollution, by up to 20%.[1] MP14 is also 40% quieter (-2 dB) with a 95% recyclability rate. The interior layouts are modular. It can therefore be modified over time, enabling maintenance throughout its lifespan.
Some 20 automated metros destined for line 14, consisting of eight cars each, will be delivered in 2021. Production of the six-car automated metros for Line 4 is currently at the stage of pre-production and testing, notably for the CBTC system[2]. The manufacture of the five-car trains for Line 11 will begin in the last quarter of 2020, in time for qualification tests in 2021.
