2014

The coaches from this series originated from different batches of FS Gran Confort, Eurofima and UIC-Z1 coaches built between the 1970s and the 1990s and were extensively rebuilt as part of Trenitalia’s Progetto IC 270 programme.

During the rebuilding, the original interiors were replaced by new open-plan 2nd class interiors, together with upgraded electrical and air-conditioning systems, power sockets and electronic destination displays. The rebuilt coaches were authorised for speeds of up to 200 km/h and renumbered in the 61 83 29-90 series.

The 61 83 29-90 800 - 979 range theoretically covers 180 numbers; however, the available documentation does not allow us to confirm that every number within this range was actually assigned or that all vehicles originally planned under Progetto IC 270 were ultimately rebuilt.
