The 10A01 train series (previously known as AC13) serves as the rolling stock for Shanghai Metro's Line 10. Manufactured by Alstom and CSR Nanjing Puzhen from 2009 to 2010, a total of 246 vehicles (comprising 41 trainsets) were produced. This series represents Shanghai's first large-scale deployment of unattended train operation (UTO/GoA4) technology, marking a notable milestone in the city's automated metro system development.
Following this, the 10A02 model was introduced with a comparable design but was built under a separate contract, featuring minor changes to both its exterior and interior elements.
In 2014, the original AC13 designation was officially replaced by 10A01 to conform with the standardized naming system used across Shanghai Metro’s rolling stock.
Description
The AC13 is characterized by a livery combining black, light purple, and white hues. The initial trainset arrived on 13 September 2009, and by March 2010, deliveries had reached 26 sets.
From 2020 through 2022, the 10A01 fleet underwent refurbishment as part of contract PM164, which included removing all trailer car bulkheads located in driver cabins.
Incident
On 27 September 2011, a collision occurred between two southbound trains in the section between Yuyuan Garden and Laoximen stations. The impact damaged cars numbered 100251 and 100961; both units were subsequently repaired and reinstated into service.
