The MPL 85 is the driverless rubber-tyred electric train type used on the Lyon Metro's Line D. The entire fleet was built by Alstom (then Alsthom). The trains were delivered in 1988, but only entered service in 1991 (when Line D was opened). 'MPL 85' stands for Métro Pneus Lyon 1985; 1985 is the year of order.
