The Line 14 of Shanghai Metro, which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2020, will consist of 31 stations.

It will start from Fengbang town in Jiading District, and terminate in Jinqiao town in Pudong New Area.

In April last year, Bombardier’s INNOVIA automated people mover (APM) 300 system started operations on Shanghai Metro’s Line 8 Phase 3 project in China.

In June 2015, Shanghai Shentong Metro contracted Bombardier to deliver 44 vehicles for the APM system.

The system was developed by Bombardier’s Chinese joint venture CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation Systems (PBTS).

In January 2018, a joint venture between Thales and Shanghai Electric known as Thales SEC Transport (TST) received a new signalling contract for Line 14 of the Shanghai Metro.
