The FE-10 (abbreviated from the Spanish: Férreo Español 2010) is a steel-wheeled model of electrical multiple units used on the Mexico City Metro, first used in 2012 and currently servicing Line 12.[2]
In 2009, while Mexico City Metro Line 12 was still under construction, Spanish Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) was awarded the contract to supply 30 trains of seven cars each for Line 12 for an approximate amount of 1 billion euros.[5]
CAF had previously supplied trains for the Mexico City Metro such as the NE-92 and NM-02.[6][7]
Description
The FE–10 currently services Line 12 only. Each train is equipped with vehicle control and monitoring system, ATP-ATO automatic driving system, passenger information and video entertainment systems, CCTV, and saloon and cab ventilation systems.[1]
The entire length of a train is 141 meters (463 ft).[2][4]
In 2015, Technischer Überwachungsverein made a recommendation to STC to change the trains due to certification problems that mainly affect an excessive wear for the steel wheels and the rails.[8]
