Technical details

Oaris is a non-articulated electric multiple unit with distributed traction, enabling 4-car, 6-car and 8-car configurations. [3] Each car have one powered bogie, with electric motors on both wheelsets, and one unpowered bogie. [4] Power equipment is designed to enable adaptation to all four of the main overhead electrification systems in use across Europe. For the train, running gear with 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) (standard gauge), 1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in) (Iberian gauge) and variable gauge options has been developed. [4]

Oaris bodyshells was manufactured from aluminium. [3] The driving end cars have 26,780 mm (87 ft 10 in) long, middle cars 24,780 mm (81 ft 4 in) long, an 8-car set is 202.24 m (663 ft 6 in) long.

The train is fitted with 660 kW (890 hp) motors, giving a total power of 5,280 kW (7,080 hp) in the 4-car, 7,920 kW (10,620 hp) in the 6-car, and 10,560 kW (14,160 hp) in the 8-car configuration. Design speed is 350 km/h (220 mph), the service top speed is 320 km/h (200 mph).
