The first 44 trains will begin operations between 2024 and 2026 on the Paris metro lines 3bis, 7bis and 10. Of the 44 trains, 30 five-car 76m-long trains will be built for line 10, while 14 four-car 60.86m-long trains will be built for 7bis and 3bis lines. Other trains will operate on lines 13, 12, 3, 8 and 7.

Features will include a driver’s cabin with open interior circulation. Additionally, the trains will be equipped with passenger information systems, large bay windows, LED lighting with heating and air-conditioning system, USB sockets and video protection cameras.

The new trains will include 20% recycled materials, making them 98% recoverable when they reach their lifespan. They are expected to use 20% less energy compared to the MF77 trains in service due to 100% electric braking and 100% LED lighting.

Assembly will be completed at Alstom’s site at Valenciennes and Bombardier’s site at Crespin.
