The contract signed in 2014, whose first units are currently providing revenue service, comprised the supply of 68 three-car trains and 50 four-car trains for approximately €500m.

The trains will run across the whole of The Netherlands providing the so-called “Sprinter” services. With a top speed of 160 km/h, the trains are completely accessible and fitted out with first class areas next to the driver cab. The Sprinters are equipped with WIFI, a toilet accessible for wheelchairs, sockets, USB-charging points, leather upholstery and a place for bicycles (see piece of news).
