The CAF Inneo M7 is a series of electric multiple unit (EMU) trainsets used in the Amsterdam Metro. This train was put into service on 28 February 2023, and is expected to remain in operation for at least 30 years.
With a length of three carriages (together almost 60 meters), an M7 set is half as long as an M5 set. The intention is to run double sets during peak hours and single sets outside peak hours, preventing overcapacity and allowing better planning of maintenance.
The M7 rolling stock initially serves the East Line (Oostlijn) and the Ring Line (Line 50). Deployment on the North/South Line (Line 52) is not planned at this time. CAF also supplied the 37 M4/S3 trainsets for the Ring Line in 1996-1997 and won the tender in 2016 for manufacturing 15G series for Amsterdam Tram.
