Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO), representing the Government of Spain, and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Ecuador signed the funding agreement which, besides the rolling stock, includes auxiliary vehicles, workshop tools and equipment, and the batch of spare parts for the first metro line of Ecuador’s capital city.

The vehicles will run at a maximum speed of 100 km/h and will be powered at 1500VDC. The units, of great capacity, will have spacious gangway aisles and specific areas for Persons with Reduced Mobility. Trains will exceed 109 metres long, which combines with four access doors per car side to ensure a streamlined flow of passengers at the line stations.
