The 9000 Series is a series of heavy rail rolling stock that operates on lines 2, 4, 9 and 10 of the Barcelona Metro. Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) awarded the contract for the construction of the 9000 series to Alstom in 2002.[5] Constructed in Belgium, France and Spain, they are part of the Alstom Metropolis family of underground trains.[6] Today, the 9000 series also operates in Latin America on the Santo Domingo Metro, Panama Metro, Lima Metro,[7][8] and 18 three-car trains of this model on Line 3 of the Sistema de Tren Eléctrico Urbano.
