I just saw that Hitachi secured a major contract for Line 2 of the Turin subway in Italy, worth 481.6 million euros. This contract is quite interesting. The entire Turin subway line is 28 kilometers long with 31 stations, and the key feature is fully automated operation using the highest-grade CBTC signaling system, completely driverless. Each train can carry 404 people and is equipped with Hitachi's HMAX digital asset management solution for real-time data monitoring. Interestingly, although Hitachi won the contract, the trains themselves are manufactured in Italy. The line is expected to open in 2033, which will take several more years. Hitachi's stock price rose by 3.3% in response, indicating market approval of this deal. Do you think fully automated subway systems are reliable?
