List of Shanghai Metro rolling stock explained
This article lists the rolling stock of the Shanghai Metro, a rapid transit system serving Shanghai. The table below contain the 1,190 trains with 7,394 carriages on the Shanghai Metro operational . There are 49 stocks in service as of June 2024.
Standard gauge is used throughout the network, allowing new train equipment to be transported over the Chinese rail network which uses the same gauge. In contrast to many other metro systems in the world, the Shanghai Metro uses overhead wires for the power supply, except for line 16, line 17 and Pujiang line which use third rail. All lines with overhead wires are DC1500V overhead wires. The overhead wires is divided into overhead catenary and overhead conductor rails. Except for the earlier construction of lines 1-4, all underground sections are powered by overhead conductor rails, and the rest are powered by overhead catenary.
Power supply
Shanghai Metro has set up 110kV main transformer station, subordinate AC33～35kV traction transformer station, AC10kV station transformer station (output three-phase four-line AC400V), and new line station uses AC35kV step-down substation (output three-phase four-line AC400V). The traction transformer station is a subordinate AC33kV to AC1250V transformer station, and an AC1250V rectifier station. After rectification, the voltage rises to DC1500V to DC1800V, and then it is transmitted to the overhead wires. The station uses AC220V for lighting and AC400V for large equipment. Shanghai Rail Transit usually uses an inter-area two-way power supply mode.
On line 2, Siemens Transportation Systems equipped the line with an overhead contact line (cantilever material: galvanized steel) and 7 DC traction power supply substations.[1]
Rolling stock
Initially, Siemens (global market share: 14%), Alstom (global market share: 18%) and Bombardier (global market share: 23%) directly sold the A-class trains to China, and then moved their production bases to China to produce and assemble the A-class trains by cooperating with large Chinese locomotive manufacturers. Shanghai Electric and Alstom set up a joint venture company, Shanghai Alstom Transportation Equipment Co., Ltd., Changchun Railway Passenger Vehicle Co., Ltd. and Bombardier set up a joint venture company, and Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. cooperated with Siemens.[2] On September 22, 2007 the first A-class train with independent intellectual property rights was produced at the production base of Rail Transit Equipment Company in Minhang.

Signalling and telecommunication
In the beginning lines were built in an era where moving block CBTC systems were expensive and China had no experience with them. Therefore, lines 1-5 had fixed block CBTC systems capable of headways above 2.5 minutes. Lines 1, 3, 4, and 5 used ALSTOM URBALIS 200, line 2 uses Union Switch & Signal (now Ansaldo STS USA) AF900.[4] Lines 1, 2, and 5 have updated there system to equip with moving block CBTC. All Shanghai Metro lines -except lines 3 and 4 undergoing an upgrade between June 28, 2021 and 2025 - are equipped with moving block CBTC systems capable of headways as low as 90 seconds.[5]

Refurbishment and improvements
Currently, three types of stock will be refurbished or modernized:
- 01A02 - The old carriages have been renovated during the 2008-2009 expansion, which included replacing train doors with electric doors from pneumatic doors, changing the lampshades of the internal lights from grids to white plastic shells, and adding new electronic destination displays.
As the older carriages are about to reached the end of their life, another refurbishment will be carried out. Renovation includes structural repairs, extend their lifespans for an additional 14 years.
- 02A01 - Most of carriages will be took out of service in 2024 to upgrade signalling systems and replace pneumatic doors to electric doors. Cars 00071-00121, 01262 and 01273 were the first to be modernized and backed to service.
- 03A01 - The trains will have a major renovation. This includes redesigning a different style livery of red, yellow and white on bodies and trains' front. The trains will also receive a new passenger information systems, including LCD signs displaying train destination, the next station, route map, and the time. The signalling system will be upgraded. Traction systems will be changed from ONIX 1500 to OptONIX STD 1500. The lifespan of trains will be extended from 35 years to 50 years. 03371-03421 have been refurbished in January 2024.
Former fleet
Surplus cars and retired cars
The surplus cars are older 92113, older 98033 and older 98042. Older 92113 being damaged in a test run in Tonghe Xincun station in 2004. 98033 and 98042 were severely damaged in 2009 Shanghai Railway Station station crash.Three new cars built by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive replaced them in 2007 and 2011. 98042 was converted to the SMTC Experimental Car in 2014. All of useful parts on 92113 and 98033 have been cannibalised for other carriages, so they are no longer be used.
01A01 - Due to faults, unreliable structure and lifespan, 16 cars have been taken out of service in 2020: 92011-92033, 92102, 93121, 93133, 93233, 93262, 93273, 93442, 93453, 94102-94121, 14652 and 14663. 24 cars out of service since 2023: 92131-92241, 94022, 94033, 94202 and 94213. Rest of the cars removed from service on June 5, 2024.
92011-92033, 93442, 93453 and 94102-94121 (trainset 101) were reassigned as a training train and transferred to Longyang Road Depot.
8 cars were used as the parts sources: 93131, 93162, 93293-93333, 93402 and 93413.
The first retired cars of 01A01s are newer 92113, 93191-93222, 93361, 94142 and 94153 (trainset 108). Newer 92113 was withdrawn from service due to a very poor condition. 93191's odometer shows 3,000,456 km, reached the end of its life. Therefore, Shentong Metro decommissioned 93191 and donated it to Shanghai University of Engineering Science in October 2023[6] . 92113, 93202-93222, 93361, 94142 and 94153 are also written off and stored in Fujin Road Yard.
Cars not in service
09ASY - This stock was built for experimental purposes. These cars (093071-093121, trainset 0952) no longer in service since 2010 and converted into a training train in 2011. Stored at Longyang Road Depot.
