Fleet
The fleets consists of 48 articulated light rail vehicles, each bi-directional ("double-ended") and powered from overhead lines. They have a top speed of 70 km/h (43 mph). All are the same general type and all were built in Mexico. The first 16 cars were built by Concarrril, and using propulsion equipment from Melmex (Mitsubishi Electric of Mexico). For line 2, another 32 cars were ordered, and these came from Bombardier, which had acquired Concarril in 1992 and built this new batch in the same factory (in Ciudad Sahagún) as the earlier batch; they have propulsion equipment from Siemens. The first batch were model TLG88, and the second were model TEG90.
