Metro awarded a contract to Talgo for a total value of $72.9 for the overhaul of 74 A650 HRV’s in September 2016. The contract included a base order of 38 cars and an option for 36 additional cars. The goal of the overhaul work is to improve the performance of the Metro Red Line A650 HRV’s by replacing and/or overhauling critical Vehicle systems and subsystems.
