THE Philippines Department of Transportation has awarded Mitsubishi Corporation and CAF a €225m contract for 30 LRVs for Manila Light Rail Transit Authority’s Line LRT1.
The contract will be funded through an ODA loan from Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica), backed by the governments of Japan and the Philippines.
The 106m-long bi-directional LRVs will have 16 doors on each side and seats for 276 passengers. The 70km/h vehicles will be delivered between 2020 and 2022.
LRT 1 is currently being extended 11.7 km south from Baclaran via Manila International Airport to Niog, Bacoor City in Cavite province. The extension is due to open in 2021.
In February 2016, concessionaire Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) awarded Alstom and Bouygues Travaux Publics a €450m contract to modernize the existing 20.7 km north-south line from Roosevelt to Baclaran and equip the extension, which will increase the daily capacity of LRT 1 from 500,000 to 800,000 passengers.
