Shanghai Metro AC08

The 02A02, formerly known as AC08, is a class of electric multiple unit currently used on Line 2 of Shanghai Metro. It was introduced into service in 2008 with the west extension of Line 2, and a total of 168 cars were built by Alstom and CSR Nanjing Puzhen. In 2014 AC08 was renamed 02A02. As part of the west extension program of Line 2, AC08 was ordered at the same time as AC06, but both manufacturing and delivery were delayed; since the western extension opened in late 2006, eight AC05 trains were assigned to Line 2 until AC08 trains were delivered between 2008 and 2009. They have a livery mainly in green and white and were the first on the metro equipped with upper window LED screens to provide passenger information. The Alstom ONIX 1500 variable frequency IGBT inverters are like those used by the SMRT North East Line Alstom Metropolis C751A trains, and between 2022 and 2023 the signalling system was retrofitted with DTO (CBTC) operation.
