Fortaleza Metro

In 2009, Hitachi Rail signed a contract with SEINFRA, Secretaria da Infraestrutura do Estado do Ceará, for the delivery of 20 electric trains for Metro Fortaleza (Brazil).

In 2012 the client exercised the option for the delivery of an additional five vehicles, bringing the total supply to 25 electric trains.
