The CPTM Series 9000 represents a fleet of electric multiple unit trains utilized by CPTM initially on Line 11-Coral, later extending to Line 13-Jade, and presently operating on Line 12-Sapphire. Produced by Alstom in 2012, these units commenced passenger service in 2014. This trainset introduces a modern design benchmark for CPTM, incorporating features such as air conditioning, formations consisting of eight cars, and continuous gangways that enable passengers to move freely throughout the entire train.
History
The delivery of the Series 9000 began in April 2014, with initial deployment solely on Line 11-Coral to enhance rail capacity ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in São Paulo. Service on Line 13-Jade started on 11 September 2018. Testing phases were conducted on Line 12-Sapphire by December 2018, leading to full operational status approximately one year later.
The prototype unit (T01), which was the final trainset delivered, received full certification for peak-hour operations by early 2015.
