August 28, 2023 –\u00a0<\/strong>Alstom (OTC: ALSMY<\/a>)<\/strong>,\u00a0a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, announces that the Consortium SIF (led by Alstom and including Sofratesa)\u00a0has been selected by Fideicomiso para el Desarrollo del Sistema de Transporte Masivo (FITRAM) of the Dominican Republic to deliver an integrated Innovia monorail system for the city of Santiago de los Caballeros. When completed, the 13-kilometre, 14-station Santiago de los Caballeros monorail system will be the first of its kind in the country and in the Caribbean. The system is dimensioned to carry up to 20,000 passengers per hour per direction (pphpd) and will provide faster and more efficient connections between the city\u2019s northwest and southeast areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alstom\u2019s scope within the contract includes system integration, testing and commissioning of the full system and the supply of Innovia monorail trains as well as Cityflo 650 GOA4 driverless signalling, Hesop reversible power supply, conductor rail, high-speed interchange switch systems and depot equipment. Alstom\u2019s share of the contract is worth approximately \u20ac370 million. This project is carried out with financing from the French government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alstom will deliver the 13 four-car automated Innovia Monorail 300 trains, which incorporate the design and operational features required for a high-capacity urban transport system. These features include automatic driverless operation, bi-directional operations, and compliance with international safety requirements and standards. Capitalising on Alstom\u2019s strong leadership with over 30 years\u2019\u202fexpertise in communications-based train control (CBTC), Alstom\u2019s Cityflo 650 CBTC solution\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the first driverless rail control system in the Dominican Republic\u2014\u00a0will support the highest grade of automation (GoA4), allowing for high reliability, shorter intervals between trains, flexible and safe operations, and reduced maintenance costs. To further increase the energy efficiency of the system, Alstom will install Hesop reversible power stations, which translates into not only building fewer substations along the alignment but also recovering and reinjecting up to 99% braking energy from the trains back into the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
