The MVG Class A is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft on the Munich U-Bahn system.

[1] The door areas are separated from the seating bays by half-high partition walls reaching slightly over the lower window edge, with panes of glass on top to prevent strong air currents from flowing through the whole passenger compartment.

[1] The full production units also feature reinforced door columns to better support the roof structure.

As all contact shoes are electrically connected, one train can pass through dead sections of up to 30 m (98 ft 5 in) length without running out of power.

[3] After about eight years of testing, the train was scheduled to be refitted with its original control equipment at Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB)s Donauwörth plant.

Unit 093 was moved to the Donauwörth plant in July 1982, where all reusable parts were salvaged and built into two new car bodies based on the A2.5 series design.

[1] Six trains were lent to the Verkehrsaktiengesellschaft Nürnberg (VAG), which had a shortage of rolling stock during the German Evangelical Church Assembly 1978 in Nuremberg.

One car body of unit 176 was donated to the Forschungs- und Versuchsamt des Internationalen Eisenbahnverbandes (ORE) and was used for fire research in Norway.

[1] The units were renumbered accordingly to the VAG numbering scheme, but retained their Munich blue and white livery.
