The Bombardier MultiLevel Coach is a bi-level passenger rail car for North American commuter rail lines, built by Bombardier Transportation from 2006 and by Alstom since 2021, which markets it in its Adessia series. Based on the Comet V, it has two-by-two seating and more leg room than single-level coaches, with 15 to 30 percent more seats. It has a smaller loading gauge than the Bombardier BiLevel Coach and was designed to fit through the North River Tunnels under the Hudson River. The first cars were delivered in 2006 to New Jersey Transit and Montreal's Exo, followed by Maryland's MARC, and 643 were in service by 2015. NJ Transit's MultiLevel III order of 2018 added powered cars with AC electric propulsion that can form multiple units without a separate electric locomotive, with a top speed of 180 km/h for the power cars.
