Shenzhen Metro MOVIA EMU (also referred to as Movia 456 or "01A2206龐") represents the first electric multiple unit introduced for the Shenzhen Metro system, serving exclusively on Line 1. Between 2004 and 2005, a total of 132 cars, arranged into 22 six-car trainsets, were manufactured through a collaboration between Bombardier Transportation and CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd..
The production process was divided, with Bombardier’s German plant assembling set 101, while the remaining sets (102 through 122) were constructed at the Changchun facility in China. These trains are built with aluminum alloy bodies, each six-car formation measuring roughly 140 meters in length and designed to carry up to 2,127 passengers, including 207 seated and 1,920 standing. Efficient passenger flow is supported by five doors on each side of every car.
The propulsion system employs Bombardier MITRAC TC1110 IGBT–VVVF technology, subsequently upgraded by Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric. Each trainset is equipped with sixteen three-phase AC induction motors rated at 220 kW each, totaling a power output of 3.52 MW. Power supply is provided via a 1,500 V DC overhead catenary system using single-arm pantographs.
Technical highlights include a top operational speed of 80 km/h and an axle load of 16 tons. The trains run on Bombardier FLEXX Metro 3100 bogies and incorporate Siemens Trainguard LZB-700M automatic train protection for safety. Braking systems consist of Knorr-Bremse electro-pneumatic and air brakes. Trainsets are connected using Scharfenberg couplers and are classified as Class A EMUs operating on standard gauge tracks.
Features
In November 2001, Shenzhen Metro Group commissioned the construction of 22 six-car trainsets specifically for Line 1. The initial unit was produced by Bombardier’s German facility and delivered on April 23, 2004; the subsequent 21 sets were completed at the Changchun plant. This particular model incorporates Faiveley plug doors designed to minimize noise levels, setting it apart from the A2 and A3 variants used by Guangzhou Metro and the Shanghai Metro AC04.
