The MF 2000 (officially called the MF 01) is a model of steel-wheeled electrical multiple units used on Paris's Metro system. The cars first arrived in December 2007 and delivery will be completed by 2015. RATP ordered 160 trains or 800 cars in 2001, to replace the aging MF 67. It is used on Line 2, Line 5, and Line 9. The MF 01 was first introduced to the press on June 17, 2005, but it would not be until January, 2006 that the first trains would undergo testing on the system. Commercial service on Line 2 began on June 11, 2008, with all of Line 2 being equipped with the new rolling stock by March, 2011. Testing quickly commenced on Line 5, where two trains were initially deployed. Commercial service on Line 5 began on June 15, 2011, with nearly 25 trains in service as of April, 2012. On February 9, 2011, the STIF voted to purchase MF 2000 stock for Line 9 at a cost of 330 million euros. Deliveries will take place in 2013, after all of the stock is delivered to Line 5, and will continue through 2016. The features of the Line 9 trains will be virtually identical to the trains on Lines 2 and 5, including the air conditioning systems. However, the trains feature a new joint RATP/STIF exterior livery that is based on the MI 09 commuter rail rolling stock on the RER A, marking the first time that the co-branded RATP/STIF livery is seen on the Metro. The first train (#096) for Line 9 was delivered in June, 2013 and began revenue service along Line 5 in July, 2013. The train was then prepared for revenue service on Line 9 in early October, 2013, going into revenue service on October 21, 2013. == Conception == With many of the MF 67 trains approaching 35 years old on Lines 2, 5, and 9, the RATP determined that a new class of steel-wheel rolling stock was needed. Due to changes in European legislation regarding competition, the RATP was required to change the way it awarded bids. This resulted in the RATP launching an open bid where numerous firms could take part. The winning consortium of four train manufacturers, namely Alstom, Bombardier, Technicatome and CSEE was chosen to manufacture the MF 2000 stock at a cost of €800 million. It was the first time in history that the RATP has assigned four manufacturers to manufacture different components of the train cars. This process delayed the delivery by a year due to poor collaboration between the four companies, but the RATP has seen a drop in costs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MF 01」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
