Caravaggio - FNM

The innovative architecture, characterised by light alloy cars, well-distributed power traction and wide volumes available for the passenger compartments offers unique performance in the marketplace in terms of:

• Weight for passengers.
• Transport capacity for unit length.
• Energy consumption for passenger/km (30% less compared to the most recent electric trains circulating in Italy).

These trains are designed to be:

Comfortable: enhanced passenger experience thanks to features including LED lighting, WiFi connection, 220V and USB plugs, bike stations and electric plugs to recharge e-bikes

Accessible: eased accessibility for people with reduced mobility by movable platforms to cover the distance between the doors and the train platforms

Sustainable: reduction of 30% of electric consumption and of noise, presence of regenerative braking and the use of innovative recyclable materials (85%) and renewable ones (95%) that help to further reduce the train’s weight.
