CAF Oaris

Oaris is a non-articulated electric multiple unit with distributed traction, enabling 4-car, 6-car and 8-car configurations. Each car has one powered bogie, with electric motors on both wheelsets, and one unpowered bogie. 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 {{RailGauge|sg}} (standard gauge), {{RailGauge|1668mm}} (Iberian gauge) and variable gauge options has been developed.

Oaris bodyshells are manufactured from aluminium. The driving end cars are {{Convert|26,780|mm|ftin|abbr=on}} long, middle cars {{Convert|24,780|mm|ftin|abbr=on}}, and an 8-car set measures {{Convert|202.24|m|ftin|abbr=on}}.

The train is fitted with {{Convert|660|kW|abbr=on}} motors, giving a total power of {{Convert|5,280|kW|abbr=on}} in the 4-car, {{Convert|7,920|kW|abbr=on}} in the 6-car, and {{Convert|10,560|kW|abbr=on}} in the 8-car configuration. Design speed is {{Convert|350|km/h|abbr=on}}, the service top speed is {{Convert|320|km/h|abbr=on}}.
