Today, the European Commission has approved an investment of more than €74 million from the Cohesion Fund for the purchase of new railway cars in Hungary. This investment allows the purchase of 15 units of 200-seat multiple unit trains for the railway lines 1, 30a-20 and 80, which are part of the Trans-European Transport network.

The project contributes to strengthening the economic and social role of the transport sector, improving the modal split, environmental protection and competitiveness and reinforcing the socio-economic and regional cohesion. The project is in line with EU and Hungarian transport policy strategies, which set the objective of improving transport infrastructure and the quality of rail services.
The rapid coupling and uncoupling of trains allow flexible timetable planning. Also, the appearance of the new trains is an attractive alternative to private transport, and reduces road traffic, noise, air pollution and accidents. The trains also help to create integrated transport systems.
