The 01A05 series, previously known as AC06, operates on Shanghai Metro Line 1. This rolling stock was developed by Alstom and manufactured by CSR Nanjing Puzhen. The fleet consists of 128 vehicles arranged in 16 trainsets, which were delivered to support the Line 1 extension between Bao'an Highway and Fujin Road stations. These units were introduced to increase capacity following the withdrawal of AC04 trains from the Line 1 inventory.
In 2014, the designation AC06 was revised to 01A05 to conform with the Shanghai Metro's updated naming conventions.
