The trains are able to operate in diesel mode or less than 3kV DC with each train unit consisting of three passenger cars and an intermediate diesel powerpack module with an option to add a fourth car at a later stage.

They are designed to have a maximum speed of 160km/h in E-mode, and 140km/h in D-mode, and have the capacity for 178 seated passengers, 19 of which are tip-up seats.

The contract also includes staff training, technical documentation, spares and maintenance for five years.

The deal comes with an option for five additional trains, which will have to be exercised within 36 months of the delivery of the final vehicle and this would take the value of the contract to €94m.
