The Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-hu), known in official Шаблон:Lang records as Шаблон:Lang, and alternatively known as Шаблон:Lang,Шаблон:Efn or Шаблон:Lang,Шаблон:Efn is a type of metro car which was manufactured by Hungarian companies Шаблон:Lang ("Ganz-MÁVAG Locomotive, Carriage and Machine Factory") and Шаблон:Lang ("Ganz Electric Factory"). The Шаблон:Lang metro cars are articulated, 8-axle rail motor coaches with an unusual 2'Bo'Bo'2'tr axle arrangement. They are not capable of operating as electric multiple units. The cars were manufactured in Budapest between 1971 and 1973 and in 1987, and including the two prototype cars, in overall 23 units were made.

The Шаблон:Lang designation resolves to Шаблон:Lang ("Millennial Underground Railway"), Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang refers to the same phrase, as the cars were specifically designed to replace the original, turn-of-century SchlickSiemens & Halske rolling stock of Budapest's M1 metro line, a tunnel system which requires low-height vehicles. MFAV metro cars are still in active service, although their retirement has been called for. The first car entered passenger service in 1973, thus the type is now in continuous service for Шаблон:Age in years years. The series carries the distinction of being an early example of fully low-floor urban rail vehicles.

Design and manufacturing

The MFAV cars are based on the CSMG tramcars, but the geometrical constraints of the M1 metro line forced Ganz to modify the existing design in unique ways, such as moving the electric subsystems into the articulations between the body sections to achieve fully low-floor vehicles. From the four bogies of the cars, the inner two are driven, which, due to the weight distribution over the bogies, gives the vehicles better traction dynamics.

Eventually MFAV metro cars were produced in two production runs, these are shown in the following table.

Production run Production years Production numbers Fleet numbers Notes
MFAV prototypes 1971 2 21–22
MFAV first batch 1971–1973 19 23–41
