The Trainguard MT train control system can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 10,000 tons annually on a typical metro line thanks to energy-optimized travel.

Reduced CO2 emissions

The automatic train control system also permits 50 percent more traffic on a given segment of track. It used to be that an average of 20 trains per hour could use a metro track, and now it is 30. Thanks to reduced headways and thus shorter waiting times, more travelers are changing from cars to public transit.
