The trains are part of the Civity platform and will be equipped with CAF's ETCS. They will reach a speed of 160 km/h. Each train will consist of three cars and will have a capacity for approximately 350 passengers along its 60 metre length. They will also include areas for people with reduced mobility and areas for bicycle transport.
The new units will be used on the line running between the cities of Dordrecht and Geldermalsen, the ‘MerwedeLinge line’, which was awarded to the operator in 2018. This new fleet will replace the units currently operating on the line that are not equipped with the ERTMS signalling system, which is scheduled to be implemented on parts of the line by 2027.
