2001

July 4th

The initial contract for the delivery of 120x units is signed between Siemens Transportation System Group and CFR Calatori SA on July 4th, 2001, followed by the commercial contract signed on April 2nd, 2002.

2003

- February 1st: Bucharest - Pitesti - Craiova (and later on to Tg. Jiu) route (trip duration: 3 hours and 44 minutes);

2004

April 4th

The first Desiro unit assembled at SC Astra Vagoane Calatori SA is delivered on Wednesday, April 4th, 2004 (2 weeks before initial schedule and 6 months after production initially started).

As these railcars are used by the Romanian State Railways (CFR) on much longer routes compared with the local services they were initially designed for, Astra will deliver a number of 30x units in a single 2nd class configuration: 70x 2nd class seats and 4x folding seats.

Despite the fact there is no 1st class, these railcars offer a higher degree of comfort for passengers compared with Bpd + ABp units, with larger and more comfortable seats positioned at a higher distance from each other.

These units are registered as Bpd 96-20xx + Bp 96-25xx.

2007

The last unit of the 120x units order (registration Bpd 96-2120-2 + ABp 96-2620-1) is delivered to Bucharest depot.
