options for 130 more, though all options were exercised immediately. The cars began to enter service in late 2009. In September 2010, NJ Transit ordered 100 additional coaches, designated MultiLevel II, with options for 79 more. In October 2011, MARC Train ordered 54 cars—15 cab cars and 39 trailing cars—from the NJ Transit options. The remaining 25 options were not exercised. In December 2018, NJ Transit ordered 113 additional coaches, designated MultiLevel III; the order included 55 unpowered cars and 58 powered multiple units with AC electric propulsion systems, which when coupled to other MultiLevel cars will allow the train to be propelled without a separate electric locomotive. The contract included options for up to 636 more cars. The new multilevel cars are to replace NJ Transit's Arrow III EMUs. The maximum speed of the power cars is 110 mph. These cars may replace the 29 older ALP-46 electric locomotives in the future. Alstom, which purchased Bombardier in 2021, will complete the order. In October 2022, it was announced that NJ Transit will spend approximately to replace the glazed polycarbonate windows on the entire fleet. Many of the windows have become permanently clouded due to heat and UV exposure which makes them difficult to see out of.
