M300 Metro Train Modifications for Train Control System Development

This tender involves modifications to the M300 series metro trains to accommodate upgrades to the Automatic Train Control (ATC) system and the radio network (RN).

The procurement includes the necessary changes to 25 M300 passenger trains currently in operation. The project entails integrating the new ATC system and the required mobile radio network into the existing train fleet. This is essential for enhancing the metro's operational efficiency, safety, and punctuality, allowing for increased service frequency and improved disruption management. The modifications will ensure that the M300 trains are compatible with the upgraded infrastructure, contributing to the overall modernization and capacity enhancement of the Helsinki metro system.
