Overhaul
editIn late 2013, Metro awarded a 60-month fixed price contract to ORX to overhaul the powered axle assemblies for the then tewenty-three year old P865/P2020's.[2]
P2020
editThe P2020, which was also produced by Nippon Sharyo for the LACMTA, is identical to the P865, except for the model number. A total of fifteen vehicles with that model number were delivered to Metro in 1994.[3]
