The cars first arrived inDecember 2007 and delivery will be completed by2015 .RATP ordered 160train s or 800 cars in 2001, to replace the agingMF 67 . It is used on Line 2, Line 5 and Line 9.The trains were manufactured by a
consortium of four train manufacturers, namelyAlstom ,Bombardier ,Technicatome andCSEE at a cost of €800 million. It was the first time in history that the RATP has assigned four manufacturers to manufacture different components of the train cars. The split of the job delayed the process for a year due to the poor collaboration between the four companies, butRATP has seen a drop in costs.The train's exterior was the result of a design competition, and the winning design is similar to the
MP 89 . The interior also looks similar to MP 89's interior, but added with new security features. It is the first rolling stock to have air-conditioning.
