Originally, the 15 sets of CLass 730 were high-speed trains from the 130 series. From 2009, they were converted to electric/diesel vehicles in order to expand the area of operation in north-west ofSpain. For this purpose, an end car was integrated between the powered end cars and the passenger cars. These two cars have diesel-powered generators to supply the power cars with electricity. In diesel mode, they reach a speed of 180 kph / 110mph. |
