The 160km/h trains are being delivered in four, five, and six-car formations, with the latter seating up to 292 passengers.
The latest option comprises 24 five-car and three four-car trains. Assembly will be carried out at Alstom’s Savigliano facility and deliveries are due to be completed by mid-2019.
