Rolling stock

The rolling stock has not been announced yet, and in February 2024, German company Siemens was in talks with the government to build urban rail lines, including the HCMC Metro Line 2.{{Cite web |last=thanhnien.vn |title=Metro số 2 TP.HCM: tin tức, hình ảnh, video, bình luận mới nhất |url=https://thanhnien.vn/metro-so-2-tphcm-tags1212367.html |access-date=2024-11-13 |website=thanhnien.vn |language=vi}} Line 2 will use electric multiple units. By 2030, it will use 3-car trains, then increase to 6 cars. Each train is 22 m long, 3.15 m wide, and 3.865 m high. Maximum axle load is 16 tons. The design speed is 90 km/h. Maximum operating speed is 80 km/h. The signaling system uses modern technology, ensuring scientific, efficient and safe train operation with automatic train control systems, automatic train monitoring, computer-based interlocking, train speed detection and measurement, data signal transmission, signal display system, depot signaling and interlocking system, disaster warning system and other auxiliary systems.{{Cite web |last=ONLINE |first=TUOI TRE |date=2020-12-16 |title=Metro số 2 Bến Thành - Tham Lương tuyến metro xuyên tâm dài nhất TP.HCM |url=https://tuoitre.vn/metro-so-2-ben-thanh-tham-luong-tuyen-metro-xuyen-tam-dai-nhat-tphcm-20201202100659956.htm |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=TUOI TRE ONLINE |language=vi}}
