Alstom was awarded a contract worth over $140 million by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to perform the mid-life overhaul of 52 P2000 light rail vehicles (LRVs), which operate on Los Angeles’ Blue, Green, and Expo lines. The scope of the overhaul includes the upgrade of major systems such as propulsion, HVAC, automatic train control, auxiliary power supply, brake control, communications, and doors, as well as the LRV’s bogies.

The overhaul is expected to allow Metro to keep the fleet in service for at least another 15 years, enhancing its comfort, availability, and reliability.
