Alstom Ferroviaria president and managing director Pierre-Louis Bertina said: "The delivery of the train as scheduled bears witness to the commitment of the entire company to this project.

"Our hope is that the train will open up new opportunities for our Italian factories and the sub-contractors that are equally committed to confronting this challenge."

The trains are being built in four unique configurations including metropolitan, with more standing room; regional, with more seats; regional express, for more comfortable journey on longer distances and airport, with more space for luggage.

"Our hope is that the train will open up new opportunities for our Italian factories and the sub-contractors that are equally committed to confronting this challenge."
