With a capacity to travel at a top speed of 120 km/h, each new low-floor train will include five single-deck cars that can accommodate 600 passengers.

The trains will also feature advanced signalling solutions, as well as safety and passenger information systems for the provision of better safety and on-board experience.

Alstom Spain managing director Leopoldo Maestu said: “As long-time industry and technology partners, we want to offer solutions that meet the 21st century’s mobility challenges.

“To do so, we offer leading technology in the sector, unique industrial capacity, a local supplier network and a consolidated value chain for developing these state-of-the-art trains for FGC.”
