Emepa Alerce

what is it?

The Alerce is an Argentine railcar produced by the Emepa Group in Chascomús, Buenos Aires Province. As of 2015, the units are produced for the General Belgrano Railway's narrow gauge network and are currently used on commuter rail services, though a broad gauge variant is currently in the works. They are designed to be easily converted into Electric Multiple Units, though only diesel variants have been produced to date.
