History
In 2012, the Italian state railroad placed a €440 million order with Alstom for 70 Coradia Meridian trains, which would be known to Trenitalia as "Jazz." Alstom began delivering the trains in 2014.[2] Trenitalia exercised a €170 million option to order 27 additional trains in 2015.[3]
The trains were assembled in multiple configurations to vary amounts of standing room, total passenger capacity, and luggage space. They were fitted with video surveillance, information screens, loudspeakers, and charging ports.[2] Alstom manufactured the trains in Savigliano, Sesto San Giovanni, and Bologna.[4]
