Hitachi Rail: 14 New Trains for Genoa Metro
The new trains will support the expansion of the metro network of Genoa, to connect an increasing number of people with sustainable mobility solutions.
Each of the new trains, made up of four carriages with an overall capacity of 290 passengers, will be bidirectional, 39m. long. They will normally run in consist of two for a total length of 78m. and a capacity of 580 passengers.
To allow a greater operative flexibility the new trains will be able to run also coupled with third generation vehicles currently in service on the city's infrastructure.
The design of the interior fittings and onboard systems was conceived to limit as much as possible the encumbrance of the technical systems into the passenger compartments to have a continuous visibility through the adjoining cars. The seats create a symmetrical and well balanced layout for weight balance. The new metro trains will feature an innovative interior and exterior design, a state-of-the-art technology and the use of materials fully compliant with safety, resistance and recyclability requirements.
For the operation on the Genoa network the trains will integrate ATP and ATO system, related to speed control and assisted automatic drive.
The onboard telecommunication system is present in each car and thanks to Ethernet it can guarantee the connectivity of all communication devices, such as sound and display for information to the passengers, emergency intercom and control devices reserved for the driver.
Furthermore the cars will be equipped with an innovative air conditioning system that will greatly increase the comfort of passengers in every condition and season.
The new trains will support the improvement of the Genoa Metro, including the west and east extensions towards Canepari and Martinez, both under construction.
The fleet will be manufactured entirely in the Hitachi Rail's factories in Italy, using a national supply chain, and the first trains will be delivered in early 2024.
These vehicles sum up to the fleet of 25 metro trains that AMT operates, 7 of which with similar characteristics and already delivered in 2016 by Hitachi Rail to Genoa Municipality.
These too will be recovered and maintained in the AMT Dinegro depot named after the Carabinieri Lieutenant Giuseppe Avezzano Comes.
This investment enhances the choice of the Municipality to turn towards sustainable mobility perfectly matching the decarbonisation strategy of Hitachi Rail.
"With these new 14 trains realised by Hitachi, a company we have a strategic partnership with, we will make the travel experience of residents and tourists more and more agreeable and comfortable," says Matteo Campora, Councilor to the Integrated Mobility and Transports of Genoa Municipality. "The improvements to the metro network are a strategic pillar of the commitment of the Municipality and AMT for the decarbonisation of the transport network in Genoa. The aim is to encourage the shift from private transport, based on polluting cars, to a more sustainable mass transport more environmentally friendly as a necessary condition to reduce the environmental footprint of our travelling."
"The improvement of the metropolitan network is fundamental for the public transport in Genoa. AMT believes in an integrated pattern metro/bus to guarantee the max mobility options available to Genoa citizens," declares Marco Beltrami, AMT Chairman.

Pawel Makowski announces ‘USECRYPT NATION’ – THE FIRST DIGITAL NATION IN METAVERSE
Paweł Makowski never fails to surprise. As a visionary and activist, he is the first Pole to create his avatar that speaks 50 languages. He is the founder of UseCrypt – the first decentralized communication system eliminating middlemen between people. He invented new messenger, new cloud and e-mail, new TV and social media and his own fashion brand. But he's not planning to stop. He has just announced that he is establishing his own nation
Polish show business has recently become richer thanks to a new hero, Paweł Makowski. His friends call him “serial entrepreneur”, but he calls himself a visionary-activist. Lately he appeared at Wielka Gala Gwiazd Plejady next to Doda – and together with singer he handed out the award in one of the categories. With this event he officially started his public activity, agreeing to show his own face, and then, in subsequent stages, sharing various parts of his personal life in order to infect people with his own ideals.
We lost the truth somewhere between Instagram filters and cream commercials that celebrities advertise on their public profiles and claim to use. There is no credibility anymore. On Monday they use cream A, on Tuesday cream B. “Show your true self” is one of the ideas that UseScrypt Live shares – our streaming platform with no scams or enhancers. There is truth. No masks. I know how badly people need it, because we are slowly starting to live in a Matrix. Everything is coloured, staged, directed, fake. And to that I say: enough!” – says Paweł Makowski.
HE CREATED HIS OWN AVATAR. NOW PAWEŁ MAKOWSKI IS ESTABLISHING HIS OWN NATION
His Instagram, TikTok an YouTube profiles are becoming more and more popular, which seems to be confirming his words. Paweł is the first Pole to avatarize himself – and thanks to that his avatar speaks 50 languages. For Makowski there is no insurmountable obstacle in proclaiming the truth – and it's certainly not a language barrier. His dreams seem too good to come true, but instead of bringing himself down to earth, he continues to plan even more unrealistic things (for those who don't know him).
Paweł Makowski announced that he is about to establish his own nation Usecrypt Nation, and its inhabitants are characterized by very specific features. Paweł Makowski has a mission – he wants to prove that it is possible to live without the gossip, meanness, unfriendliness, jealousy, luxury, pride and other negative behavior patterns. When asked how he wants to achieve that, he replies: “Pretty normally. I'm sick of those who talk, hurt, wish bad things, do bad things, exclude socially. We cannot accept such behavior and that's about it”.
Does Makowski want to convert people? Is it because of his zealous faith? Observers can spot a rosary on his neck.
No, I'm not a haunted messiah who decided to save the world and considers himself a messenger of God. It has nothing to do with faith. Atheist can be a good person, can't he? Can't a Buddhist set an example of how to behave in specific situations in order to pass a positive message and not build his strength on meanness and cuteness?” – he asks.
Paweł Makowski still believes that it is possible to live without negative emotions.
I bet you've seen the “Friends” series and probably, like most of us, you find it brilliant and you still return to old episodes with sentiment. Six friends. Is any one of of them a villian? Showing deliberate meanness? Exactly… They are positive, good, honest, friendly, respectful – and both in their life and in the whole series there is no boredom. Impossible? – he asks.
Paweł Makowski is a father of four children. He laughs that sometimes he forgets to pick them up form school or kindergarden, because in the heat of the meetings and constant activity you can lost track of time really easily. But everything he does - he does for them and their future. And the future of their generation.
I recently read the bible for youngest to my son. Santa Claus gave it to me in 1990. Let me quote one piece: “first people did not have parents. Their mother and father was the God that created them from soil – and put life into them. They were very happy. God named the man Adam and the woman was Eve. Everything, that surrounded Adam and Eve was beautiful and good. Even the animals did not attack each other. And first people were good to one another – and they were good for the animals”. But lets skip the matter of faith, God or the fact, that I took this quote from the Bible. It doesn't matter. I paid attention to this childish, utopian description of the world because when we, adults, read it, we smile with irony, but child accepts this state of affairs as a the norm, it doesn't sense nothing that can't be real here. Child has the good, honesty and truth of those described earlier first people (from the times before they ate the forbidden fruit). Maybe all we need to do is to wake this child up in our own selves? Like: for good? – Paweł asks.
Is Makowski afraid of hatred, perceiving him as a madman and cutting him down in the country where jumping the gun is not always appreciated?
No, not at all. After all: what that hatred is? I wish people could answer this question honestly in a while. Everything evil can be overcome with good and living in harmony with your personal values. And if you apply the “pay it forward” principle and pass on a good intention, thought, deed to other people, then Usecrypt Nation will rise faster than you think – he argues.
