Phase 2
Phase 2 of Xi'an Metro Line 3 is still in long-term planning (to be completed by year 2040), it will be an extension from the southwest terminus of Phase 1, Yuhuazhai Station to (tentatively named) Kunmingchi Station. After the completion of Phase 2, Line 3 will have 30 stations (an addition of 4 to Phase 1) and a length of 50.5 km in total.
Rolling Stock
The rolling stock consists solely of CNR DKZ17 trains manufactured by CNR Dalian, 41 trainsets will be provided as per the first contract. The trains run in six-car formation, with four motor cars and two trailer cars, which is different from previous trains (running in 3-3 formation), as more power is required to drive the trains up the ramp from underground to overground sections.
Train Control
Line 3, as all the previous lines, uses Trainguard MT CBTC signal system manufactured by Siemens to enhance the safety of the automated, driverless trains.
