The company are passing by a deep stock modernization since 2007, which aims to withdraw the whole old trains. The modernization is being done also in the lines. Although, the biggest part of the modernization works is suffering delays since the initial prediction of completion was exceeded in 2012 and, because of that, the company has been withdrawing the old stock (trains prior to 1998) gradually. The trains are identified by serial numbers and they are with your visual communication being updated to the new red pattern in so far as they undergo into general review, which occurs after a certain mileage. Older trains already passed by several visual modifications, internal and external, besides small, medium and large reforms. All CPTM trains have a broad track gauge and overhead catenary electric transmission of 3 kV DC. All lines operates with ATC system, however, Lines 7, 9 and 12 are being modernized to ATO, and Lines 8, 10, and 11 to CBTC. All operating compositions have the two new systems when the new signalling works.
