The Department of Transportation said it signed a deal with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. for the procurement of 120 new light rail vehicles for Light Rail Transit Line 1 extension from Baclaran to Bacoor in Cavite.
Transportation Assistant Secretary for railways Timothy John Batan said the final contract price for the procurement of new trains was not only within budget, but was also about 20 percent lower than the offer of the next-ranked bidder.
The agency did not provide the actual bid of Mitsubishi, but data showed the budget for the acquisition of new trains was about P30 billion.
The 120 LRVs are designed with four-LRV configuration. Each train set would have a minimum of 1,388 passengers, sitting and standing. They are expected to be energy efficient and have low maintenance cost.
The first four LRVs are expected to be delivered on Aug. 31, 2020 while the next delivery of 40 LRVs are due on Dec. 31, 2020.
Mitsubishi Corp.- Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarrile, the project sub-contractor based in Spain, is expected to complete the delivery of 120 LRVs on Dec. 31, 2021.
The LRT-1 Cavite Extension project is currently on the final design stage and pre-construction activities. Actual construction will start next year and will be completed within the term of President Duterte.
Light Rail Manila Corp. won the bidding for the 11.7-kilometer project and took over the operation of LRT Line 1 on Sept. 12, 2015.
The LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension would serve an additional 300,000 commuters and would significantly reduce travel time from Bacoor, Cavite to Manila from about two hours to 40 minutes.
The 11.7-kilometer Cavite extension will connect into the existing system immediately south of the Baclaran station and run in a generally southerly direction to Niyog, Cavite.
It will consist of elevated guideways throughout most of the alignment, except for the guideway section at Zapote which will be located at grade. It will consist of the satellite depot and new station.
The new stations will be named Aseana, MIA, Asia World, Ninoy Aquino and Dr. Santos Stations in Paranque City, Las Pinas and Zapote Stations in Las Pinas City and Niog Station in Bacoor, Cavite.
