The Hitachi set is the upcoming sixth series of rapid transit rolling stock used in the subway system of Toronto, Ontario, Canada that will be used on the upcoming Ontario Line. They were ordered by Infrastructure Ontario after contract for rolling stock, signalling, operations and maintenance was awarded to the consortium in November 2022[1], with an estimated cost of CA$9.00 billion.[2]With the newly designed automatic signalling and installation of track beds and operation in 30 years, the trains will be scheduled to be built in the future by Hitachi Rail, and will be delivered by 2030.
History[edit]
Project groundbreaking was held in March 2022 by mayor Doug Ford, with a estimated opening in 2031.[3]
Hitachi is the lead member of the Connect 6ix consortium, which will develop and build new rolling stock for the Ontario Line for the Toronto Transit Commission.
The set will be a collaberative project for the TTC, in accordance with operations and maintenance agreements. Passenger information will be added to provide passengers with communications, CCTV cameras will be installed in all canopys on each car, the automatic train control will be added to this fleet making it's model driveless.[4]
Part of this project would also have a Maintenance and Storage Facility, where the vehicles are stored, the Operations Control Centre where staff control train operations and are connected to TTC and GO Transit systems and the Ontario Backup Operations Control Centre, which will be scheduled to be built in the future.
The Hitachi set will be equiped with PRESTO readers for fare systems.
