Sprinter New Generation or SNG: The Sprinter New Generation (abbreviated SNG) is an electrically driven type of trainset of the Dutch Railways or Nederlandse Spoorwegen. The trains are designed and built by the Spanish train builder Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), who bases the trains on the Civity platform. The trains are primarily intended to replace older train equipment (primarily the Urban Regional Material (NS SGMm)), but are also intended for the growth of the number of passengers on the Hoofdrailnet or main rail network.[1][2]
The Sprinter New Generation is characterized by a spacious interior, with lots of light and space. This is achieved through the use of Jacob's Bogies , resulting in wide-body and spacious transitions. The low floor makes the train easier to access for the disabled.
