Civia is a class of electric multiple unit trains built by CAF, Siemens and Alstom for the Renfe Cercanías commuter railway networks in Spain. The first units entered service in 2003.
The Civia train concept was created with passenger comfort and build quality in mind, and to meet the goals of reliability, frequency and punctuality. They have better provision for disabled passengers than older Cercanías trains.
Civia units use 3kV DC overhead electrification. The maximum speed of Civia units in service is 120 km/h (75 mph), but with modifications they will be able to reach 160 km/h (99 mph).
Civia are modular units - trains can be formed from two, three, four or five cars as required. [1] There are four car types:
Civia units operate in the following cities and regions:
On 28 July 2017, Class 465 unit 210M collided with a buffer stop at Barcelona França station, causing 54 injuries of which 5 were serious. [2]
