Due to its rarity, not much is known about this trainset, albeit a technical sheet designed for potential export does exist online.

[1][2] They were built by Electroputere Craiova (electric equipment) and Întreprinderea de Vagoane Arad (IVA) (railway cars) with the help of the Technological Institute of Research and Designing of Transports (ICPTT) from Bucharest.

[3][page needed] It featured a destination board, open-able from the cab, where a cardboard plaque would be placed showing the route of the train, toilets and curtains.

[6] But all these units were plagued with brake and electrical equipment issues, so after the 1990s they were quickly retired, in favour of CFR Class EA-pulled local trains.

the only remaining example is the 1991 prototype, although a few cars of the series production trainsets were known to have survived years ago at the Grivița Carriage Works, while others lay stored in Războieni and Teiuș before they were scrapped.
