CPTM Series 2500
The CPTM Series 2500 is a class of electric multiple units built by CRRC Qingdao Sifang between 2017 and 2019 to operate on CPTM Line 13-Jade. History The series of EMUs was built by a consortium composed of Chinese CRRC Qingdao Sifang and Spanish company based in Brazil Temoinsa. The consortium won a public bidding for the production of eight trains that would be operated on CPTM Line 13, which connects the Guarulhos Airport to the rest of the metropolitan network.

Line 13 (CPTM)
Line 13 (Jade) (), also known as the Guarulhos Train, is one of the thirteen lines that make up the São Paulo Metro Rail Transport Network and one of the five lines currently operated by CPTM. The route is long with a total of 3 stations. It connects the Engenheiro Goulart Station in São Paulo to the Guarulhos Airport Station, in the city of Guarulhos. Opened on March 31, 2018, it was the first line completely built and operated by CPTM.

Electric Multiple Unit
An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages. However, electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The vast majority of EMUs are passenger trains but versions also exist for carrying mail. EMUs are popular on intercity, commuter, and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation, and are used on most rapid-transit systems. Being quieter than diesel multiple units (DMUs) and locomotive-hauled trains, EMUs can operate later at night and more frequently without disturbing nearby residents. In addition, tunnel design for EMU trains is simpler as no provision is needed for exhausting fumes, although retrofitting ...
