Hanoi's Second Metro Line

France is ready to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in the transport sector by participating in railway projects in Vietnam.

The second metro line is expected to help reduce Hanoi's vehicle emissions by 20,000 tons per year.

The commissioning of the France-funded metro line project has been delayed nine times.

Hanoi’s second metro line is expected to operate at 35 kilometers per hour on average and 80 kilometers per hour at maximum.

Hanoi’s second metro line project’s elevated section is now 90% complete and the trains ran 8.5 kilometers on elevated tracks through eight stations.

The machine was manufactured by German firm Herrenkecht based on the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) method.

The first train's arrival marks a pivotal period for the Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station project to become operational soon.

Station S9 is a component of the first underground metro project in the capital city and the second one in Vietnam.

This is the first of four trains being produced for the line out of a total of ten which have been designed for Hanoi’s second metro line.

The train is expected to arrive in Hanoi in September, instead of July as planned due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
