This article lists the rolling stock of the Shanghai Metro, a rapid transit system serving Shanghai. The table below contain the 1,190 trains with 7,394 carriages on the Shanghai Metro operational as of January 2021[update]. There are 50 types of stock in service as of June 2024.
Shanghai Metro has set up 110kV main transformer station, subordinate AC33~35kV traction transformer station, AC10kV station transformer station (output three-phase four-line AC400V), and new line station uses AC35kV step-down substation (output three-phase four-line AC400V). The traction transformer station is a subordinate AC33kV to AC1250V transformer station, and an AC1250V rectifier station. After rectification, the voltage rises to DC1500V to DC1800V, and then it is transmitted to the overhead wires. The station uses AC220V for lighting and AC400V for large equipment. Shanghai Rail Transit usually uses an inter-area two-way power supply mode.
On line 2, Siemens Transportation Systems equipped the line with an overhead contact line (cantilever material: galvanized steel) and 7 DC traction power supply substations.[1]
Rolling stock
Initially, Siemens (global market share: 14%), Alstom (global market share: 18%) and Bombardier (global market share: 23%) directly sold the A-class trains to China, and then moved their production bases to China to produce and assemble the A-class trains by cooperating with large Chinese locomotive manufacturers. Shanghai Electric and Alstom set up a joint venture company, Shanghai Alstom Transportation Equipment Co., Ltd., Changchun Railway Passenger Vehicle Co., Ltd. and Bombardier set up a joint venture company, and Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. cooperated with Siemens.[2] On September 22, 2007 the first A-class train with independent intellectual property rights was produced at the production base of Rail Transit Equipment Company in Minhang.

^Class A trains for Line 16, only three doors on each side per carriage instead of five for standard Class A carriages.
^It is the first locally developed DTO system by CASCO Signal Ltd. (a joint venture between CRSC and Alstom), headquartered in Shanghai.
^TRANAVI can be replaced and interconnected with Urbalis 888. Safe and efficient operation can be realized with mixed configuration.
^The TRANAVI system is also applied to Shanghai Zhangjiang Training Line.
Signaling
In the beginning lines were built in an era where moving block CBTC systems were expensive and China had no experience with them. Therefore, lines 1-5 had fixed block TBTC systems capable of headways above 2.5 minutes. Line 3, Line 4, and Line 5 used ALSTOM URBALIS 200, Line 1 and line 2 uses Union Switch & Signal (now Ansaldo STS USA) AF900.[4]
Currently, lines 1 and 2 use CASCO, lines 5 and 14 use Thales, Shanghai Electric TSTCBTC2.0, lines 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 use THALES SelTrac
lines 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18 use ALSTOM Urbalis Line 17 uses CASCO TRANAVI and Pujiang line uses Bombardier CITYFLO 650.
CBTC and TACS installation
Line 2 and Line 5 have upgraded the signaling systems to equip with CBTC. Line 3 and Line 4 are undergoing an upgrade between June 28, 2021 and 2025 - with moving block TACS capable of headways as low as 90 seconds.[5]

Notes
^In a Grade-of-Automation 2 (GoA2) system, trains run automatically from station to station but a driver is in the cab, with responsibility for door closing, obstacle detection on the track in front of the train and handling of emergency situations. As in a GoA3 system, the GoA2 train cannot operate safely without the staff member on board.
^In a Grade-of-Automation 3 (GoA3) system, trains run automatically from station to station but a staff member is always in the train, with responsibility for handling of emergency situations. In a GoA3 system, the train cannot operate safely without the staff member on board.
^In a Grade-of-Automation 4 (GoA4) system, trains are capable of operating automatically at all times, including door closing, obstacle detection and emergency situations. On-board staff may be provided for other purposes, e.g. customer service, but are not required for safe operation. Controls are often provided to drive the train manually in the event of a computer failure.
