Milan Metro Leonardo

The Milan Metro 570, 700 and 5000 series, officially known as the Leonardo, is a rapid transit electric multiple unit operated by Azienda Trasporti Milanesi (ATM) on the Milan Metro since March 2009.
==History==
The Leonardo is the third generation of rolling stock operational on Milan Metro Lines M1 and M2. Procurement began in 2014 when the ATM wanted to have new trains running on the Milan Metro network by Expo 2015. A total of 72 sets were built from 2014 to 2020 mainly to supplement the older Meneghino rolling stock also in operation on those lines. Manufacture of the trains was passed from AnsaloBreda to Hitachi Rail Italy in November 2015 with the latter's acquisition of the former. Unlike the Meneghino, no such trains were manufactured for Line M3.
The first set, 751-752, entered service on Line M1 on 23 December 2014.
==Design==
The Leonardo, similar to the Meneghino, is of a modular design and was designed for interoperability; it is capable of accepting different voltages and current collection systems and is compatible with multiple different signaling systems and protocols. Each set consists of six semi-permanently coupled cars with open gangways; each three-car half features a powered cab car followed by a non-powered intermediate car and a powered intermediate car. Each of the cars has "cornered" edges as a design element.
The sets have four different color schemes used on the lines they are intended to operate: black with red accents, red with white accents, black with green accents and green with white accents.
==Specifications==
The Leonardo uses an AnsaldoBreda IGBT variable frequency drive system.
The Leonardos feature regenerative braking and an automated braking system allowing the trains to stop at an exact spot on a platform. It is capable of fully-automatic driving, with the only inputs needed being from the driver to open and close the doors; trains running on Line M1 run automatically, while M2 trains are run manually with inputs from the driver.
