The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality has awarded Hyundai Rotem a US$316m contract to supply 75 four-car metro trainsets. The winning design was undertaken by TDI and deliveries are due to take place between 2016 and the end of 2021.
The trains are to be used on Line M7, which will connect Kabataş and Mahmutbey on the European side of the city. The 18 km line will have 15 stations and will be electrified at 1·5 kV DC overhead.
