Location
Milan (Italy)
Construction period
2006-in progress
Line 5 of the Milan underground is the first example in Italy and one of the first in Europe of project finance employed in the urban transport sector. A project whose value can be seen in the “
European Transport (Light Rail) Deal of the Year 2007” international award won last year. The new line uses the fully automated system (driverless system), a technology
taken from the aerospace sector, which places Line 5 at the forefront in Europe. Upon completion in 2012, it will be able to transport over 20 million people per year, with a significant reduction in the emission of carbon dioxide and pollutants inside the city of Milan.
