Italy: Since September, three six-car Inneo trains have been progressively introduced on Line 11. The remaining seven trains are scheduled to enter service by the end of 2026.
Each train, 107.7 m in length, accommodates around 1,200 passengers and offers them more than 130 seated places. The trains features inter-car gangways and spaces for wheelchairs.

The contract for the supply of four trains was signed with operator EAV in 2020, and in 2023 an option for a further six trains was enacted. The total value of the order, including three years of maintenance, amounts to €100 mln, of which €60 mln has been allocated from the state budget under Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan.

In 2022, there were some operational challenges with the CAF Inneo trains for Naples supplied under a contract signed in 2017. The inaugural train was taken out of service temporarily a month after launch due to a software malfunction that prevented the compressor from functioning as intended.
