what is it?
The MF 01 (French: Métro Fer appel d'offres de 2001; English: Steel-wheeled metro ordered in 2001; also called MF 2000 from its year of its invitation to tender) is a model of steel-wheeled electrical multiple units used on the Paris Metro. The cars first arrived in December 2007 and delivery was completed in 2015. RATP ordered 160 trains or 800 cars in 2001, to replace the aging MF 67.
