  "account": "The Paris-region public transport operator Mobilités has awarded a contract to CAF for the supply of 15 train-trams, valued at over €150 million, to be manufactured in Bagnères-de-Bigorre. The order exceeds €17.85 billion and includes an option for spare parts as well as additional trains. The vehicles, part of CAF's Urbos platform, will be used to expand Line T13, connecting the Grand Contournement Ouest area of Paris with RER and bus lines. The main goal is to reduce travel times, offer a ten-minute frequency during peak hours, and improve intermodal connections with other services. The CAF vehicles will be fully accessible for passengers with reduced mobility, with a maximum capacity of 256 passengers per unit. This contract further solidifies CAF's position in France, where it secured a previous deal for ten regional trains for SNCF Voyageurs in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. As of the first half of the year, CAF had contracts worth over €4 billion, a 31% increase from the previous year, bringing its global order book above €17.7 billion. During the first six months of the year, the company reported a profit of nearly €100 million, a 36% increase compared to the same period last year, with total revenue rising 16% to €2.527 billion, driven largely by the bus segment (Solaris), which saw a 59% year-over-year increase, while the rail business grew by 3%.",
