🚆 Sustainable mobility and Made in Italy innovation
At Clerprem, we are constantly committed to innovating the transport sector with solutions that combine technology, comfort, and sustainability. The new Paris metro, developed by Alstom, represents a flagship project for European urban mobility: a train designed to reduce environmental impact, increase passenger capacity, and enhance the daily travel experience.
By contributing to this ambitious initiative, Clerprem Inverted Cantilever Paris metro project strengthens the role of Made in Italy as a benchmark for railway innovation and sustainable design, supporting a mobility model that is safer, more efficient, and environmentally conscious.
💡 💡 What is the Inverted Cantilever?
The term cantilever describes an overhanging support structure, typical of railway and metro seats, where passenger weight is sustained by a side fixation. In a standard solution, the triangular shape distributes loads toward the anchoring point.
With the Inverted Cantilever system, Clerprem has revolutionized this concept: the traditional triangular structure has been replaced by a complex fixation system integrated inside the seat, ensuring a more balanced distribution of forces. This makes the seat at once lighter, stronger, and more precise.
Since these seats are designed specifically for metro trains, the solution meets the unique needs of urban transport: short-duration seating, intensive daily use, scratch-resistant materials, and optimized space efficiency. The Clerprem Inverted Cantilever Paris metro design enhances durability over time without compromising on comfort or passenger safety.
🌱 Comfort & sostenibilità
Clerprem has always invested in solutions that respect the planet by reducing production waste and maximizing material efficiency. The Inverted Cantilever system not only reduces the overall train weight, but also lowers resource consumption during both manufacturing and maintenance.
Passenger comfort is ensured through advanced ergonomic studies, delivering a pleasant travel experience even in dynamic urban environments like the Paris metro.
Clerprem’s environmental commitment has been recognized with several international awards, consolidating its position as a leader in sustainable railway innovation.
🇪🇺 Clerprem, a trusted partner for European mobility
The collaboration with Alstom on the new Paris metro is not our first: Clerprem has already supplied seats for previous generations of Paris metro trains, building a strong relationship based on quality, innovation, and reliability.
Today, with the Inverted Cantilever system, Clerprem confirms its role as a trusted partner for European urban mobility, helping shape modern, sustainable, and people-centered public transport.
Being part of this project is not only a milestone—it is an incentive to keep looking forward, continuing to deliver solutions that anticipate the future of railway mobility in Europe.
