A Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line train arrived at Nam Hai Dinh Vu Port in the northern city of Hai Phong on October 18.
The four-carriage train, which was sent from Dunkirk in France on September 2, was taken to the Nhon depot area in Hanoi the same day.
According to the Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board, the train will be displayed from November at the S1 station on Road 32 before being put into operation next year.
Deputy head of the board, Nguyen Trung Hieu, earlier said that this was among 10 trains being produced in France for the project.
"The other trains in the fleet are being produced in France and are scheduled to arrive in Hanoi next year," he said. "Each train has four carriages with a capacity of 950 passengers. The train has a speed of 35km/h.”
As of early September, the whole route was 65 percent complete, including 80 percent of the elevated section, and 20 percent of the four-kilometre underground section.
