The ViaMobilidade Series 8900 is a class of electric multiple units built by Alstom to operate on ViaMobilidade Lines 8-Diamond and 9-Emerald. The first train was delivered in 2023, which is already in service. Each composition was built based on a new pattern adopted by CPTM for the system's units, with air conditioning, 8 cars and free gangway, allowing access to all of the cars, having the Series 9000 rolling stock project as base.[1][2]
