The introduction of the first of a fleet of 94 walk-through, air-conditioned trains next year was confirmed by Andy Lord, London's Transport Commissioner.
All of the Piccadilly line trains will be in service by 2028, a year later than originally planned, signaling an upgrade of the aging fleet.
The new Siemens factory in Goole will create up to 900 direct jobs and support another 1,700 in the supply chain, benefiting the UK economy.
The new trains are expected to increase capacity on the Piccadilly line at peak time by almost a quarter, with services every two minutes.
