EUROFIMA, European Company for the Financing of Railroad Rolling Stock is pleased to announce the conclusion of a new EUR 500 million financing transaction with a tenor of 20 years with its Italian shareholder, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane S.p.A.

Under the scope of the transaction, EUROFIMA will finance rolling stock dedicated to regional passenger services across Italy, including 31 Alstom single-deck Pop electric multiple units (EMUs) in 4-car configuration, as well as 31 Hitachi Rail double-deck Rock EMUs, in 4-car, 5-car, and 6-car configurations.

Both train platforms form part of FS’s latest investment programme aimed at modernising the regional fleet and increasing rail utilisation in support of Italy’s decarbonisation objectives. The trains incorporate the latest technological features in terms of passenger comfort, passenger information systems (PIS), and accessibility for persons with reduced mobility (PRM).
