Sèries 7000/8000
Trains of the 7000 series (standard gauge) and 8000 (Iberian gauge) will be destined for lines L3 and L1, respectively of the Barcelona’s metro (Barcelona, Spain). The purchase of these units has been designed to replace the trains of the 3000 and 4000 series, since on the one hand asbestos has been detected at 30% of 210 cars that make up the 3000/4000. Those of the 2000 series, which run on line 3, will also be replaced. They have now been de-asbestos-free.
The composition is MA1-MB1-R-MB2-MA2, where MA is control car, MB motor intermediate trailer and R intermediate trailer car.
The trains have LED lighting, an ergonomic design, real-time information and USB ports.
The first train of the 7000 series entered commercial service on line 3 on March 13, 2023. On the other hand, the first of the 8000 series did so on July 7, 2023 on line 1. Each but two new trains will be added to the mobile fleet of both lines, and so on until the withdrawal of the 3000 and 4000 series is complete.
