The new four-car trains will ensure maximum comfort for passengers.

Renfe bought new trains as part of its investment program, which it launched in 2019 intending to renew 50% of its fleet. Currently, the Spanish railway operator has an investment of 5.5 billion euros, which will be used to modernize 539 trains and locomotives.
