en.Wedoany.com Reported - As the first phase of the Bogotá Metro project has recently begun receiving new metro trains manufactured by CRRC Changchun, the overall construction progress of Bogotá Metro Line 1 has now reached 77.53%. Bogotá is poised to become one of the cities with the largest metro network scale in Latin America.

Meanwhile, three more new trains will arrive in the Colombian capital, Bogotá, in May. By then, the number of trains delivered for the first phase of the Bogotá Metro project will reach 13, out of a total planned procurement of 30 trains.

It is understood that these trains, manufactured by CRRC Changchun, feature a 6-car formation design, are powered by 100% electricity, and operate in a driverless mode.

Each train is equipped with four motors, designed to enhance operational efficiency while achieving lower noise levels, higher speeds, and smoother operational performance.

According to the plan, the initial operational testing for the first phase of the Bogotá Metro project will commence in June 2026. The testing phase will be conducted without passengers and will primarily be used to verify the overall operational status of the train systems and infrastructure, in preparation for the subsequent official launch of operations.

The Bogotá Metro project is regarded as one of the most important urban transportation projects in Colombia in recent years and is also a significant project for Chinese rail transit equipment enterprises in the Latin American market.
