Siemens Modular Metro
The Siemens Modular Metro is a family of electric multiple unit trains for rapid transit systems produced by Siemens Mobility and used around the world. The vehicle concept was launched in Vienna in 2000 and is a modular concept allowing many variants of metro vehicles. Previously known as Modular Mobility, Siemens, whose rail equipment division had since been renamed Siemens Mobility, still uses the abbreviation Mo.Mo; however, few of these trains are being built, since Siemens had moved to their Inspiro metro platform in 2013.
