The contract for supplying and maintaining ten of these trains over 15 years was signed between Alstom and Catalonia’s FGC in 2022 for a total of €177 million. This project is expected to boost transport infrastructure in the region, improving convenience for residents and tourists.

Alstom is producing the trains at its factory in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, Spain, highlighting the value of local manufacturing and supporting the regional economy.
