The Siemens Modular Metro is a family of electric multiple unit trains for rapid transit systems produced by Siemens Mobility (originally Siemens Transportation Systems) and used by rail operators around the world. The vehicle concept was launched in Vienna in 2000 and is a modular concept allowing many variants of metro vehicles. Previously known as Modular Mobility, Siemens, whose rail equipment division had since been renamed Siemens Mobility, still uses the abbreviation Mo.Mo; however, very little more of these trains are being built, since Siemens had moved to their Inspiro metro platform in 2013.
