ALe 426/506 TAF (also known as Treno ad Alta Frequentazione or simply TAF) is an Italian Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) used mainly on commuter regional trains. Concept design has been made by Italian designer Pininfarina.
Two different companies employ them: Trenitalia and Ferrovie Nord Milano (FNM). Some slightly modified version of the EMU have been purchased by Moroccan Railways in 2006.[1]
In 2024, FNM announced a series of upgrades to the TAF. The first upgraded train was finished in Milan on January 24, 2024, and the project is set to be completed by the end of 2025.[2]
Description
Each train is formed by fixed sections of four bi-level pieces: two motorized units (ALe 426/506) and two coaches between them (Le 736). Two sections can be coupled together, but by now it is not possible on Trenitalia units (on FNM ones is common practice).
The total capacity is of 469 seated and 372 standing passengers.
