The new train will run on Siteur's Line 1 and its testing will continue at Siteur's facilities. The last train is slated for delivery by the end of November.

Bombardier Transportation Americas Region president Benoît Brossoit said: "These new trains will help Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city and one of the main commercial and industrial hubs, to manage the growing urbanisation it is experiencing, by renewing its transportation system and increasing Line 1 capacity by approximately 50%.

“We greatly appreciate the trust from our long-term strategic partner Siteur and we look forward to seeing more Bombardier LRVs in use as Mexico's cities continue to grow."

The new 29.56m-long, articulated carbon steel vehicles are equipped with on-board video recording system (OVRS), a passenger communication intercom.
