Alstom to Enhance Lausanne’s m2 Metro with Advanced CBTC System

Alstom has secured a €295 million contract with Transports publics de la région lausannoise (tl) to upgrade Lausanne's m2 metro line. This initiative will introduce Alstom's new-generation, train-centric CBTC system, aiming to increase service frequency and passenger capacity.

The m2 metro, vital to Lausanne's public transport, will benefit from a signalling upgrade allowing closer, more precise train operations. This will reduce waiting times and meet growing demand, while maintaining safety and reliability.

Simultaneously, Alstom will undertake a mid-life overhaul of the m2 train fleet, enhancing on-board systems and passenger experience. The upgrades, integrated into existing infrastructure, will expand capacity and operational efficiency, ensuring long-term performance.
