The Adtranz–CAF trains initially were formed as 7-car sets up until 2003–2005 when the 8th car was added. They were built and assembled by CAF in Spain while Adtranz contributed control and traction equipment. Their maximum speed is 140 km/h (87 mph) but with service limits to 135 km/h (84 mph), with maximum acceleration of 1 m/s2 (3.3 ft/s2), maximum service brake deceleration of 1.1 m/s2 (3.6 ft/s2) and emergency brake of 1.35 m/s2 (4.4 ft/s2). These trains are equipped with the AEG DASU 6.1 3-level GTO–VVVF inverter.
Tung Chung line stockedit
Trains of the Tung Chung line were made up of 7 cars up until 2003, and were increased to 8 cars with the 'W7XX' car added in 2003 when the West Rail line and Nam Cheong station was opened. The total number of cars ordered was 96.
The configuration of a TCL train is (Westbound) V6XX-W6XX-X6XX-Y7XX-W7XX-X7XX-Z8XX-V8XX (Eastbound).
Airport Express stockedit
Trains of Airport Express (AEL) were made up of 7 cars up until 2005. The total number of cars ordered was 88. To cope with the extra traffic demand derived from the opening of AsiaWorld–Expo station, an additional 'F2XX' car was added to each train to form a total of 8 cars. However, the 'K4XX' cars function as baggage container cars for bulky baggage checked in via the in-town check-in services at Hong Kong and Kowloon stations.[4]
Configuration of an AEL train is (Westbound) E1XX-F1XX-G1XX-H2XX-F2XX-G2XX-J4XX-K4XX (Eastbound). Except for 'K4XX' cars that have 5 doors on each side, all other cars in AEL have 2 doors on each side and 1 wheelchair space. Each passenger car is mounted with 2 LCD monitors at each end for broadcasting entertainment or tourist television programmes and train announcements, such as next-station broadcasts.[5]
