Delivery is planned for the year 2028.

The trains will be equipped with the ETCS CAF signaling system and designed to carry about 350 passengers at speeds of up to 160 km/h.

In Kazakhstan, tariffs for railway transportation of coal, ore, and scrap metal have increased

They will be energy-efficient and provide space for bicycles and passengers with limited mobility.

These investments are aimed at improving public transport and making it more sustainable.

The new trains will be used on the line connecting the cities of Dordrecht and Geldermalsen, replacing trains not equipped with the upgraded ERTMS signaling system.
