Formation of AC17B

The AC17Bs were formed as Tc-Mp+Mp-Tc as they entered service. An additional contract of 64 cars for expand 16 02A04 sets was awarded to CRRC Nanjing Puzhen in December 2016, to increase the capacity of Line 2.

Between 2018 and 2020, all 02A04s were gradually removed and transported to CRRC Nanjing Puzhen for expansion. Each set added four cars. Every 02A04 car added ceiling level displays during the expansion work.[3]
