Simultaneously in May 2025, ARF exercised its option right for additional nine vehicles, worth 75,587,110 EUR. Their delivery is scheduled for the second half of 2027.
Under the terms of the contract, PESA will also provide 15-year fleet maintenance services leveraging local resources and the technical capabilities of Romanian personnel. The new trains will operate on the following routes: Reșița Sud - Timișoara Nord, Cluj Napoca - Craiova, Brașov - Iași, Galați - Iași/Suceava, Galați - Constanța, Constanța - Iași/Suceava, București - Călărași.
