Italy’s national rail carrier Trenitalia is taking a major step towards modernising its fleet in 2025. It aims to both increase passenger satisfaction and strengthen the country’s transport infrastructure by purchasing 850 new, modern trains with an investment of 100 million euros.
Sustainability and Comfort Together
The main aim of this investment is to make Italy’s railway network more modern, more efficient and more sustainable. The new trains take an environmentally friendly approach by consuming less energy and reducing carbon emissions. They are also designed to offer passengers a more comfortable and safe travel experience. Features such as spacious seating, fast internet connection and improved accessibility will make passengers’ train journeys more enjoyable.
Hitachi Rail and Alstom Collaboration
Trenitalia is collaborating with the leading manufacturers in the sector, Hitachi Rail and Alstom, on this important project. Hitachi Rail’s comfortable Rock and Blues models and Alstom’s Pop models, equipped with innovative technologies, will operate on Italy’s railway network. This will give passengers the opportunity to travel on trains with different models and features.
A Long Term Investment
This investment is part of Trenitalia’s long-term strategy. The company has previously significantly strengthened its fleet by purchasing 2019 new trains between 2024 and 540. With this new investment, Trenitalia will further consolidate its leading position in Italy’s rail transport.
Trenitalia’s new train investment is of great importance not only for the company but also for Italy. Thanks to this investment, Italy will have a more sustainable, more comfortable and safer transportation system. It will also contribute to the country’s economy by revitalizing the tourism sector.
