MPM 76
The MPM-76 (Métro Pneumatique Marseille 1976) is a type of rubber-tyred EMU built by Alstom for the Marseille Metro.
Following the 1971 call for tenders for the creation of the Marseille metro, a contract for the supply of 21 trains (of three cars each) was signed on 1 November 1973. The first train is delivered on August 27, 1976, at Saint-Marcel station. The first tests took place at the La Rose depot in September 1976. The other trains were gradually delivered until the summer of 1977.
The trains are designed with the help of RATP and its subsidiary SOFRETU. Tests have also taken place on line 11 of Paris Métro. The construction is ensured by a group of industrialists, including companies CIMT (caisses) and MTE (electrical equipment), under the aegis of Société Générale de Travaux et d'Etudes (SGTE).
On the occasion of the creation of the second metro line, 15 additional trains (with three cars) are ordered and are delivered at the beginning of the year 1983.
In addition, a fourth car is added on the existing trains to cope with the increase of passengers. These cars are delivered and installed during the year 1985.
In 2005, trains sustain a mid-life renovation.
The trains have a length of 65.65 metres (215 ft 5 in) and a width of 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in), for an empty weight of 75 tons. The cars are made of welded aluminum.
The electricity supply is done by means of a wiper. The supply voltage is 750 volts DC.
