In a statement, CAF said: “This is an important awarding for CAF this year, since 2022 when the company secured an unprecedented amount of contracts worth in excess of €6bn, which resulted in a year-end order backlog of over €13bn, the highest figure ever achieved in CAF’s long history.”

“Accordingly, the group is commencing this newly launched strategic period with an optimistic outlook; a period that includes a series of ambitious goals in terms of both growth and profitability for 2026.”

This month, CAF also obtained two orders, together worth more than €100m, to supply Urbos platform trams in Hungary and Spain.
