The train is equipped with reclining seats and multifunctional compartments that transform from work and relaxation zones into comfortable sleeping spaces at night.

Passengers can also enjoy a restaurant car and a café car, offering a variety of dining options during their journey.

The train configuration is designed for 260 passengers, including 238 standard seats, 4 seats for passengers with reduced mobility, and 18 seats in 9 compartments.

This design increases the train’s capacity by 17% compared to the previous model.

The launch of Tren Maya will be a significant step in the development of the country’s transport infrastructure and will showcase Alstom’s leadership in innovative transport.

Before entering service, the train will undergo a series of tests, including checks of traction and braking systems, as well as passenger information systems.

These tests are aimed at full compliance with safety standards. The delivery of this train is the first of three planned, including 42 trains in total, among them 31 standard Xiinbal trains and 8 Restaurant Janal trains.

The trains are manufactured in Mexico with the involvement of local specialists.
