{{Main|Docklands Light Railway rolling stock}}
The DLR is equipped with 149 high-floor [[Bi-directional vehicle|bi-directional]] single-[[Articulated vehicle#Trains and rail|articulated]] [[electric multiple unit]]s (EMUs). Each car has four double doors on each side, and two or three cars make up a train.<ref name="RWT-DLR-upgrade" />{{Failed verification|reason=For some of it, not all; upgrade report bad source for present rolling stock.|date=September 2022}} There are no cabs because normal operations are automated; a small driver's console is concealed behind a locked panel at each end, from which the PSA can drive the car.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://londonist.com/2007/11/unmanned_train.php |title=Unmanned Train: DLR Respond |newspaper=The Londonist (blog) |date=2 November 2007 |access-date=19 March 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222004250/http://londonist.com/2007/11/unmanned_train.php |archive-date=22 February 2012 }}</ref> Consoles at each door opening allow a PSA to control door closure and make announcements whilst patrolling the train. With the absence of a driver's position, the fully glazed car ends provide a forward and rear view for passengers. The operational top speed is {{convert|64|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.

Despite having high floors and being automated, the cars are derived from a German [[light rail|light-rail]] design intended for street running. All cars look similar but there have been several different types, some still in service, others sold to other operators. Units were purchased from [[Bombardier Inc.|Bombardier]] in 2005 and delivered between 2007 and 2010.<ref>{{Cite press release |url=http://bombardier.com/en/corporate/media-centre/press-releases/details?docID=0901260d8000fc2d |title=Bombardier receives a $94&nbsp;million US order from Docklands Light Railway for automatic Light Rail cars to be used in London, UK |publisher=[[Bombardier Inc.|Bombardier]] |date=4 May 2005 |location=Montreal |access-date=14 July 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821135659/http://bombardier.com/en/corporate/media-centre/press-releases/details?docID=0901260d8000fc2d |archive-date=21 August 2009 }}</ref>

In 2017, TfL opened bidding for new full-length, walk-through trains, subsequently awarded to [[Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles|CAF]] in 2019<ref>{{Cite press release |date=12 June 2019 |title=CAF wins driverless trains contract in London |url=https://www.caf.net/en/sala-prensa/nota-prensa-detalle.php?e=279 |publisher=CAF |location= Guipúzcoa}}</ref> and expected in service between 2024 and 2026,<ref name="improv">{{cite web  | url = https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/dlr/improving-the-dlr?intcmp=25179 | title = Improving the DLR | publisher = Transport for London | access-date = 12 February 2023}}</ref><ref name="mayornewtrain">{{cite news | url = https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2023/02/mayor-of-london-views-first-new-docklands-light-railway-train.html | work = Rail Advent | title = Mayor of London views first new Docklands Light Railway train | first1 = Roger | last1 = Smith | date = 9 February 2023 | access-date = 12 February 2023}}</ref> following delivery and testing on the network of the initial units from January 2023.<ref name="improv" /><ref name="mayornewtrain" /> An order was placed for 54 five-car trains: 33 to replace the oldest existing trains and the rest to increase service capacity.<ref name="improv" /> The design of the trains increases internal capacity by 10% which, combined with service improvements, will bring about a 65% increase in capacity from Stratford to Lewisham, and a doubling of capacity between Canning Town and Beckton or Woolwich Arsenal.
