The '''LRTA 1000 class''' is the first-generation class of high-floor light rail vehicles (LRV) of the Manila LRT Line 1. Purchased under soft loans from the Belgian Government, the trains first entered service under the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) in 1984.

It has undergone two refurbishments; the first from 1999 to 2008, and the most recent by the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) from 2016 to 2017. The newer 13000 class trains have gradually replaced the older 1000 class trains since July 2023.<ref name="replace" />

==Operational history== thumb|right|LRT 1000 class LRVs under construction in the BN plant in Bruges, Belgium

===Purchase=== The construction of the original {{convert|15|km|mi|adj=on|sp=us}} section of the LRT Line 1 was funded by a ₱300 million soft and interest-free loan from the Belgian Government. Additional funding for the project was later sourced from a ₱700 million loan provided by the consortium of ACEC (Ateliers de Constructions Electriques de Charleroi), BN (Constructions Ferroviaires et Metalliques, formerly Brugeoise et Nivelles), TEI (Tractionnel Engineering International), and TC (Transurb Consult). The trains were included in the second loan package, along with the power systems, signaling, and telecommunications.<ref name="History">{{cite web |title=LRTA History |url=http://lrta.gov.ph/index.php/history |website=lrta.gov.ph |access-date=May 23, 2018 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524003849/http://lrta.gov.ph/index.php/history |archive-date=May 24, 2018}}</ref>

===Production and initial operations=== The trains were manufactured by BN (now Bombardier Transportation Belgium S.A.), while the electrical equipment supplied were from ACEC. A total of 64 trains were built between 1982 and 1983.

In its early stages, these trains ran on a two-car configuration until 1999, when it was upgraded to three cars.<ref name="LRTA DATA"/> However, not all of the train cars are capable to be coupled to form three-car sets.

===First refurbishment=== From 1999 to 2001, 32 LRVs underwent the first refurbishment, carried out by BN (Bombardier Transportation Belgium S.A.), ACEC Transport SA, Transurb Consult, and Tractebel. The car body was repaired, and a new livery design was added. Seats were also replaced, new components were installed, and modifications were made on the roof for the installation of air conditioning units. Replacement and cleaning of electrical components were not included.<ref name="Rehab1P3">{{cite web |url=http://www.lrta.gov.ph/projects/proj_l1rehabIph3.htm |title=The LRT Line 1 Rehabilitation I Project Phase 3 – Rolling Stock Rehabilitation |last=Light Rail Transit Authority |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101117074028/http://www.lrta.gov.ph/projects/proj_l1rehabIph3.htm |archive-date=November 17, 2010 |access-date=February 13, 2020}}</ref>

The 31 remaining LRVs that were not modernized in Phase 1 underwent refurbishment by the Light Rail Transit Authority from 2004 to January 2008. This involved the replacement of the electrical components of the trains, along with additional works in the 32 refurbished LRVs.<ref name="Rehab2">{{cite web |url=http://www.lrta.gov.ph/projects/proj_l1rehabII.htm |title=The LRT Line 1 Modernization Phase II-Project: Modernization and Upgrading of Existing BN ACEC LRVs |last=Light Rail Transit Authority |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080708181032/http://www.lrta.gov.ph/projects/proj_l1rehabII.htm |archive-date=July 8, 2008 |access-date=February 13, 2020}}</ref>

==Design== The LRV design is an 8-axle rigid body consisting of three articulated cars. It is the only 8-axle light rail vehicle in the entire rolling stock of the LRT Line 1, as subsequent trains since 1999 were built to the 6-axle design.

===Car body=== The 1000 class trains are made of BI sheet,<ref name="BN Light Rail" /> sporting a white body livery with blue and yellow cheatlines. Prior to the first refurbishment, the 1000 class wore an orange and cream-white livery under the "Metrorail" branding, and notably had "mushroom-cap" roof-mounted ventilation.

Prior to the 2003 refurbishment, each light rail vehicle had 12 roof-mounted forced ventilation units. A refurbished light rail vehicle has five roof-mounted air-conditioning units.<ref name="LRTA DATA" />

Each LRV has four inside-frame bogies consisting of two motorized bogies at the ends of the LRV and two trailer bogies under the articulations. The primary suspension is a conical rubber, while the secondary suspension is a coil spring.{{Sfn|JICA|2013b|p=A-26}} Semi-permanent couplers<ref name=marubeni/> are present at the ends of the non-cab section (section B) of the light rail vehicles.<ref name="BN Light Rail" />

===Braking system=== Dynamic brakes are used as a service brake. There are two disc brakes per trailer bogies acting as a service brake and two disc brakes per motor bogies used as an emergency and substitution brake. Each bogie has two electromagnetic track brakes for use in case of emergency.<ref name="BN Light Rail" />

The transmission is a bogie-mounted transmission consisting of a right-angle link drive transmitted via gears and two elastic couplings.<ref name="BN Light Rail" />

==Train formation== Each unidirectional light rail vehicle consists of three articulated cars.
