Metro de Granada has singled out CAF to supply eight new units for the city’s network, which will be added to the 15 previously-delivered units which are currently in service.
The new units will be similar to those already supplied by CAF, providing places for 221 passengers and a maximum running speed of 70 km/h. The delivery time established in the contract is 22 months units from the contract signing, providing a response to the growth in metro passenger demand, whilst also significantly improving service quality.
This extension of the train fleet is intended to significantly increase transport capacity by increasing the number of seats available, as well as train frequency at stations. It will also make it possible to run double-train consists during peak demand times and for special, high-intensity services. This rolling stock extension will allow the company to cover planned future expansions of the Granada Metro network.
