The framework agreement envisages the supply of 12 units with an option to acquire up to six additional locomotives for a maximum amount of 65 million euros. The units will be used to tow trains providing maintenance for the regional railway network infrastructure operated by RATP.

These locomotives are expected to be manufactured from mid-2018 at CAF's plant located in Bagnères de Bigorre (France), and the first unit is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2019.

These shunting locomotives, with a power range of 1000 kW, will be equipped with nickel-cadmium batteries which will enable them to carry out completely autonomous maintenance activities, thus becoming the first units of this type in the world to have this technology.
