More than €52 million from the European Regional Development Fund will be allocated to the purchase of 37 electric trains for 13 interregional routes in Romania following the approval of this project by the Commission. Cohesion and Reforms Commissioner Elisa Ferreira (pictured) said: “The new multiple unit trains will have a positive impact on the whole railway network in Romania. Increasing the frequency and comfort of journeys and encouraging the use of trains are important for territorial and social cohesion, as this facilitates access to employment and public services for all. They improve the sustainability of transport, thus contributing to the ecological transition. Cohesion Policy works with the Romanian authorities to implement the objectives of the European Green Deal."

The introduction of these state-of-the-art electric trains will improve connectivity and passenger comfort and reduce transport emissions. Able to accommodate a minimum of 300 passengers per train, this investment will significantly improve the quality of rail services on the main electrified interregional rail corridors connecting Bucharest to regional centers such as Arad, Cluj-Napoca, Constanța, Brașov, Timișoara, Iași, Galați, Craiova, Petroșani and Suceava.
