Renfe tests new trains in Czech Republic due to saturation of Spanish railway network
By
Clara Pinar
Summary
Renfe has purchased 70 trains from CAF for €520 million to operate on Cercanías and Media Distancia networks. These trains are currently undergoing certification testing at the Velim test circuit near Prague, Czech Republic—one of the best testing facilities in the EU. The testing is being done abroad to accelerate the homologation process due to saturation of the Spanish railway network. The first trains are expected to begin service in the province of Valencia next year. The article highlights the ongoing debate about whether delays in train availability are caused by manufacturers or by subsequent certification processes.
