It is one variant of the Autorail à Grande Capacité. These trains were built at Bombardier's rail manufacturing plant in Crespin. Currently, it operates on TER lines and Transilien Line P.

- Weighs about as much as 28 African elephants (~6 t each).
- 72.8 m long: about 16 cars parked nose to tail.
multiple unit: A self-propelled train: motors are spread under the passenger cars, so no separate locomotive.
