The '''RSG3''' stock is the newest passenger rolling stock in Simvliet. The trains were built between 2008 and 2009 and were ordered to enter service on the A-Line as soon as it was completed. The [[RSG2]] stock is equipped to operate on the A-Line between Stadionweg and Springstraat, but cannot operate on the ATB protected sections of the network. The unmodified [[SG2]] trains however, are not equipped to operate on the ZUB protected section between Stadionweg and Springstraat. In order to serve the complete route from Springstraat to Simvliet Centrum, new trains which can communicate with both the ATB and ZUB protection systems were needed. These trains are mostly operational on the A-Line, but can operate on the B and C lines as well. The fleet consists of 22 sets.
Along side with the [[SG3]] '''RSG3''' stock was the fourth type of passenger rolling stock on the metro system of Rotterdam. The trains were built between 2007 and 2009 for the E-section of the North-south line. These trains were necessary to serve the complete route between Slinge and Den Haag Centraal, which uses ATB as well as ZUB protection, and third rail as well as overhead wire. These multi-functional trains were the best solution for this, as the trains are also equipped with overhead wire pantographs and third rail shoes. The fleet consists of 22 sets.
