CNR has declared it is bidding to supply 36 new trains for Shanghai Metro Line 9.
The manufacturer is hoping to land the 1.696 billion yuan (€219 million) order for a fleet of new metro trains for the Line 9 Phase III extension.
In 2017, Shanghai Metro hopes to open the eastern extension of Line 9 to Caolu.
Through its joint venture with Bombardier, Changchun Bombardier Railway Vehicles (CBRC), CNR has delivered 306 Movia metro vehicles to Shanghai Line 9 since the first 31-kilometre section opened to passengers in December 2007.
