Stadler secures €134m Lisbon Metro contract

Stadler has received a €134m ($145.5m) contract from Metropolitano de Lisboa to manufacture and supply 24 three-car trains.

This deal marks the second agreement between the Swiss rail manufacturer and the Portuguese capital’s metro operator.

The new trains, 49.6m in length, are designed to enhance passenger comfort with large windows and a spacious, well-lit interior.

They will also feature a modern passenger information system with large monitors and a video surveillance system to ensure safety and convenience.

The fully accessible, barrier-free trains are equipped with nine double doors on each side, providing ample space in the vestibules for efficient boarding and alighting.

These features are aimed at improving the overall travel experience on the Circular Line, where the trains will be deployed.
