Objectifs

Trains will mainly operate on lines approaching Budapest, serving commuter flows within the Budapest agglomeration. Furthermore, the rolling stock will operate partly on the TEN-T network.

Aspects environnementaux
The project does not fall under either Annex I or Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive (2011/92/EU), which is not applicable to the manufacture and use of rail rolling stock. The project is expected to have a positive environmental impact by helping the railways to maintain modal share in key sections of the passenger transport market. In comparison with the old fleet, the new trains have the potential to generate significant energy savings, emission reductions and safety improvements.
