In order to satisfy the need for increasing the passenger capacity, it is necessary to purchase 8 additional passenger vehicles. The new passenger Vehicles must be fully compatible with the existing wayside systems and thereby dimensionally and functionally identical with the existing driverless and unmanned passenger vehicles, which have been manufactured and integrated by Hitachi Rail Italy S.p.A. and Ansaldo STS S.p.A. In order to ensure full compliance with the existing transportation system on M1M2, the 8 new passenger vehicles must be purchased and integrated by the same companies, Hitachi Rail Italy S.p.A. and Ansaldo STS S.p.A.
