Out of 461 units built between 1975 and 1989, only 62 are still operative in the fleet, divided into class 655 and later as modified 656. Soon they are approaching the end of life with Trenitalia. The hull is divided in two parts, each one with its own twin axle bogie, plus a central bogie in the middle. Each bogie mounts four DC motors, each providing 400 kW (540 hp), for a total of 12. |
