New EMU "AMG" (for "Autorail voie Métrique de Grand confort") ordered in 2003 by the Corsican Railways (CFC) from CFD-Bagnères.
These will be delivered in 2006/2007, primarily for Superfast services on Bastia-Ajaccio, with
8-9 daily services planned (02:30, with 3 stops), instead of the current 4 daily services
(03:30 in average).
They will also run on Bastia-Calvi (-20 min).
With 880kW (for just 80t), they will form the highest-powered metre-gauge, DMU fleet in the world.
These sets will feature air-conditioning and panoramic saloons.
