Civity EMUs for Serbia
posted on 30th Mar 2026 17:40
On 30 March 2026, CAF has signed a contract for the supply of 30 commuter trains to Srbija voz, the Serbian national railway company that manages both long-distance and international transport as well as suburban network services in the country's main cities. The contract, which includes the full maintenance of the trains for two years, is worth over 300 million EUR. This is CAF's second contract in Serbia, following the 2009 award for 30 trams for the capital, which are in revenue service.
The new 120 km/h three-car Civity EMUs will serve the BG Voz suburban network in Belgrade. They will have a capacity of 546 passengers (204 of whom are seated). Their interior layout, featuring six multi-purpose areas with space for up to 18 bicycles, has been developed to meet the high standards and performance requirements of Srbijavoz.
The BG Voz network is a commuter rail system that serves Belgrade and the surrounding area. This network, operated by the public company JKP Beogradski metro i voz, connects Belgrade's city centre with its suburbs. It runs from the Ovča, Batajnica and Resnik terminal stations, extending to outlying areas such as Mladenovac and Lazarevac in the south.
With around 1.8 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, Belgrade, the capital of Serbia is the country's political, economic and cultural centre. It is currently immersed in an ambitious plan known as the Belgrade Urban Transport Master Plan, which includes the construction of new metro lines, the extension of the BG Voz suburban rail network, and the renewal of its train fleet.
This latter network is where the new trains are intended for. It is a system with 35 stations and provides service on four main lines and three complementary lines, connecting the main intermodal stations where other means of public transport in the city operate, such as trams, buses and trolleybuses.
We asked CAF about the delivery date of the new Civity EMUs, we are waiting for an answer.
