Trenitalia invests 7 billion euros to renew regional rail fleet

Trenitalia is accelerating the renewal of its regional rail fleet as part of a massive 7 billion euro investment plan. Since the beginning of 2026, the company has delivered 31 new trains, representing an investment of approximately 370 million euros.

The goal of this modernization program is to ensure that 80% of the regional fleet consists of new-generation rolling stock by 2027. By that time, the total number of new-generation trains in service is expected to reach 1,081. To date, 1,009 new units are already in circulation, including 674 delivered under service contracts with various Italian regions and autonomous provinces.

The distribution of the new fleet covers the entire country: 369 trains are allocated to the North, 359 to Central Italy, and 281 to the South and Islands. Trenitalia’s regional service manages over 6,000 daily trips and transports more than 400 million passengers annually.
