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.
