Each vehicle will have a seating capacity for carrying at least 400 passengers. The new trains will be able to operate at speeds of up to 160 kilometres per hour. For comparison, currently AS Pasažieru vilciens has 26 electric passenger trains with a total of 10 000 seats, which were produced back in 1960s-1990s.
