The trainset, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, is used by Trenitalia for their Frecciabianca service on several routes across Italy.

The trainset has the ability to tilt by up to 8° when taking corners so as to reduce the effect of centrifugal force on the passengers.

Use of the train does not demand particular modifications to the railroad but it is expensive in terms of maintenance of the rolling stock due to the complexity of the tilting system.

The hydraulic tilting system it is governed by two gyroscopes located in the lead cars.

The motors are controlled by GTO-VVVF inverters, with a total power of some 6 MW.
