The first unit of the new MF19 series has commenced operation on Line 10 of the Paris metro, marking a significant milestone in the fleet’s modernisation.
This new train series, entirely designed and financed by Île-de-France Mobilités and operated by the RATP, will gradually replace the older MF 67, MF 77, and MF 88 rolling stock across Lines 3, 3 bis, 7, 7 bis, 8, 12, and 13.
The MF19 is the first new steel-wheeled metro to enter service on non-rubber-tyred lines in 30 years.

Manufactured by Alstom with collaboration from multiple French sites, the MF19 offers advanced passenger comfort and technology.
Features include air conditioning, cooled ventilation, ergonomic seating, USB ports, full LED lighting, and gangways allowing continuous movement throughout the train.
Real-time information displays, widened doors, spaces reserved for passengers with reduced mobility, and onboard CCTV enhance accessibility and security. The train is modular, adaptable in length and configuration to meet the varying demands of each line.
Line 10 has also been fitted with Alstom’s onboard Octys speed control system, based on CBTC technology developed jointly with RATP, improving line capacity and safety.
The MF19 project involves 2,300 Alstom employees and is progressing on schedule, supported by a new production line in Valenciennes.
