The SL C20 is a type of subway train used in the Stockholm metro, Sweden. Between 1997 and 2004, 271 3-car sets, numbered 2000–2270, were delivered to Stockholm by the former Kalmar Verkstad, owned by Adtranz, later acquired by Bombardier Transportation. The C20 is a completely new design and therefore is not compatible with other train types in the system. At 46.5 metres (152 ft 6+3⁄4 in), each carriage is longer than the previous train types. To save cost and weight, each unit has only four bogies. The middle car has two bogies. The end parts consist of one bogie each and are connected to the central portion via a semi-trailer-direction. Trolley subframes are made of stainless steel, and are less susceptible to corrosion.
The first new rolling stock type for the Stockholm metro since the C14 and C15 stock from the mid-1980s, the C20 was at launch advertised as the Vagn 2000 (English: Wagon 2000) and marketed as the subway car of the future, though the only customer outside of Stockholm would be the Bucharest Metro, with an order for 18 MOVIA 346 trains that would be based upon the C20 in 1999, with an additional 26 units later in 2004.[6] [7] All C20 coaches have been given their own names, all proposed by private individuals. Many of the names are linked to Stockholm; for example, coach no. 2012 was christened Estelle, after the christening of Princess Estelle.
