The Vulcano was introduced in December 2013, when Italian railroad Ferrovia Circumetnea ordered four two-car trainsets.[1] The first unit from the order was delivered two years later,[2] and Vulcanos began revenue service in May 2016.[1] In December 2017, Ferrovia Circumetnea placed an order for four more trainsets, three of which were contingent on obtaining financing.[3]
The Vulcano is based on a design from bankrupt Italian manufacturer Costa Sistemi Ferroviari.[4] Each 950 mm gauge train set has two diesel engines, and can transport 106 passengers at a speed of up to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph).[4][1]
