and the possibility to easily cross the borders,
makes PRIMA M4 in freight configuration the
great partner to haul goods in the safest and
most comfortable way, as it is using in its
freight version the SNCF and Veolia
locomotives bogie, capitalizing on more than
155 million km of commercial service.
Fast speed up to 200 km/h and best in class
on-board safety equipment are the advantage
of PRIMA M4 in passenger configuration.
Capitalizing on more than 200 million km of
commercial service, also in extreme climatic
conditions, PRIMA M4 is an excellent
solution for extremely safe journeys.
