“The new multiple-unit trains will have a positive impact throughout the entire railway network in Romania. Increasing the frequency and comfort of the rides and incentivizing the use of trains is important for territorial and social cohesion, facilitating access to jobs and public services to all. It improves the sustainability of transport, thus contributing to the green transition. Cohesion Policy works hand in hand with the Romanian authorities to roll out the European Green Deal objectives”, says Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira.

This investment has the capacity to accommodate a minimum of 300 passengers per train.

This project will significantly improve the quality of railway services on the main interregional electrified rail corridors linking Bucharest to regional hubs such as Arad, Cluj-Napoca, Constanța, Brașov, Timișoara, Iași, Galați, Craiova, Petroșani and Suceava.
