MBTA Showcases Green Line Type 10 Vehicle Mockup

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and CAF employees unveiled the agency’s Green Line Type 10 vehicle mockup at a recent celebration at Boston City Hall Plaza, giving the public a look and an opportunity to offer feedback to MBTA.

“We are pleased that we could offer the opportunity for the public to come to Boston City Hall Plaza to see a full-scale mockup of the Green Line Type 10 vehicle,” said MA DOT Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt. “The Green Line Type 10 is going to modernize the Green Line, resulting in service that is more accessible, more comfortable, and much safer for our customers.”

Feedback from the public will help MBTA in its final design phase with contractor CAF USA Inc. MBTA has a $810-million contract with CAF for the design, construction, and delivery of new Green Line vehicles. The contract includes 102 cars.

“These cars will be state of the art with CCTV security, wider doors, and real time information screens,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “They are 100 percent low floor designed, which eliminates the need to traverse steps, making accessing the trolley simpler than ever.”

MBTA and CAF will finalize the design and continue the procurement process. Pilot cars are expected to be delivered in 2026. The full Type 10 fleet delivery is expected to be completed in 2031.
