The class was built by two manufacturers, so they are designated as "R160A" (Alstom) and "R160B" (Kawasaki). The two car types are nearly identical to each other. ==Description== The R160A base order was part of a $961,687,121 contract funded in part by a grant from the Federal Transit Administration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MTA - Press Release - MTA Headquarters - MTA NYC Transit Awards New Car Contract )〕 The R160s are designed to operate on the New York City Transit Authority's lettered services (B Division), and were intended to replace older subway cars. The primary base order of the R160 class consisted of 660 cars, 400 R160As to be built by Alstom, and the remaining 260 R160Bs to be built by Kawasaki. The contract included options for further orders, which, if exercised, would have brought total business with NYCT to about US$2.4 billion, for 1,700 subway cars, and Kawasaki would have manufactured 40% (680 cars) of the 1,700 cars. The R160 fleet was purchased at an average cost of $1.28 million USD per car. The first train of R160 cars (8713-8722) were delivered on July 22, 2005, and entered revenue service on the for its 30-day acceptance test on August 17, 2006, after slightly over a year of testing. However, this train was transferred to the on August 20, 2006 to continue with its 30-day performance test, which it passed on September 30, 2006, and all testing and acceptance was concluded. On November 10, 2008, the MTA exercised options for 140 R160B cars (9803-9942), and 242 R160A cars, broken down into 32 cars arranged as 4-car sets (9943-9974) and 210 cars arranged in 5-car sets (9593-9802). These cars all feature Alstom traction. As of June 2010, all of the R160 cars are in active revenue service. R160 cars are configured in either 4- or 5-car sets. 372 R160A cars (8313-8652 and 9943-9974) are configured as 4-car sets, maintained at East New York Yard, operating on the BMT Eastern Division (, , , and ) as well as the . The remaining 630 R160A cars and all R160Bs are configured as five-car sets for use on IND and BMT main line services. They are maintained at Jamaica Yard, operating on the and , or the Coney Island Yard, operating on the and . Kawasaki and Alstom organized a joint venture called Alskaw Inc. for project management, engineering and equipment purchasing to pursue the contract. The two companies built and delivered the rolling stock through the joint venture. Kawasaki not only manufactured 260 cars for the base contract, but was also the engineering leader for the whole project and provided the trucks for all cars. Alstom assembled 1,002 R160A cars at its manufacturing plant in Hornell, New York, while Kawasaki assembled 660 R160B cars at its plant in Yonkers, New York.〔MTA Press Release #24 2002〕 Shells for the Alstom-built cars were built in their Lapa plant, in São Paulo, Brazil, and shells for the Kawasaki-built cars were assembled at their Lincoln, Nebraska, plant. The R160s have replaced all R38s, R40s, R40As, and New York City Subway-operated R44s, as well as the majority of R32s and R42s. The remaining R32 and R42 cars were projected to be replaced by an order of R179s by the late 2010s. 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「R160 (New York City Subway car)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
