The additional metro trains are an option from a €200m contract signed in February 2010 for 23 Metropolis trains, the first of which entered service on the East Line in 2012.
Alstom's Katowice plant in Poland will manufacture the new metro trains, which are scheduled to be delivered to Amsterdam during the second half of 2014.
The order is part of Amsterdam's public transport initiative to modernise its metro system.
Amsterdam's metro modernisation plan also includes the creation of a new North - South line and the modernisation of the existing network with a new CBTC signalling and control system.
"The additional metro trains are an option from a €200m contract signed in February 2010 for 23 Metropolis trains."
The new six-car Type M5 trains will each have a length of 116m and be capable of accommodating 960 passengers.
Alstom Metropolis trains can run at a top speed of 80km/h and are equipped for driverless automatic transport and will be operated on the new North - South Line as well as on the existing network.
The new trains will also feature LED lighting, wheelchair facilities installed in two multipurpose spaces and dynamic travel information, connection communication, surveillance cameras and transparent interiors.
Alstom has sold over 4,000 Metropolis cars worldwide in cities, such as Barcelona, Warsaw, Budapest, Istanbul, Singapore, Shanghai, Nanjing, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Santo Domingo.
