Hitachi Rail and EASIER are working alongside Île-de-France Mobilités to deliver Cable 1, the first urban cable car in the Île-de-France region. Hitachi Rail will supply the entire ticketing system, and EASIER will supply around 60 access gates spread across the line's five stations. This 4.5 km aerial link connects the two ends of the route in 18 minutes, instead of 40 minutes by bus.
A comprehensive, integrated ticketing solution designed for fluidity and accessibility
The solution provided by Hitachi Rail includes ticket vending machines linked to a back office connected to the Île-de-France Mobilités information system, as well as validation gates designed by EASIER, a brand of the IER Group (Bolloré Group) and Hitachi Rail's supplier for the project. The company is also responsible for the complete integration of the entire system to ensure a smooth and secure travel experience. Particular attention has been paid to the adaptability of the equipment dedicated to people with reduced mobility, in order to guarantee equal access for all passengers.
A technological extension of the Grand Paris Express
The ticketing solution deployed on Cable 1 is a continuation of the system already supplied by Hitachi Rail to the Société des grands projets (SGP) for the new metro lines (15, 16, 17 and 18). This technological consistency supports effective maintenance and improves interoperability within the Île-de-France region. This project therefore represents a major new step in Hitachi Rail's establishment as a lead in sustainable mobility in Île-de-France.
More sustainable mobility for Val-de-Marne
By offering a fast and regular alternative to private cars, Câble 1 is fully in line with Île-de-France Mobilités’ sustainable mobility objectives: reducing road congestion, cutting pollutant emissions and improving the quality of daily life.
"The Câble 1 project represents a major step forward for more sustainable mobility in the south-east of the Paris region. We are contributing to this innovative infrastructure by providing a reliable ticketing system that is accessible to all and designed to simplify the passenger experience." said Yves Baumgartner, Vice-President Revenue Collection Systems – Hitachi Rail.
"The launch of this very first cable car in the Paris region is a major turning point in terms of urban mobility. We are fortunate to be working with Hitachi Rail on various projects: our complementary expertise and know-how give us a legitimacy that is reflected in the equipment we supply to numerous sites, such as the iconic Cable 1," said Alain Combette, Sales Director, EASIER.
