Alstom Movia

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The Alstom Movia, introduced as the Adtranz Movia and later sold as the Bombardier Movia, is a family of metro train cars whose structure and body shell are customised for each system that orders it. Unlike most traditional metro trains, Movia sets usually have full-width gangways that let passengers walk the whole length of the train. The design was developed by Adtranz and passed to Bombardier in 2001, and since Alstom acquired Bombardier in 2021 Alstom builds future cars. Movia trains run in cities including London, Toronto, Singapore, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Stockholm, Bucharest and Delhi, and use the MITrac traction system.
