Civia is the name for a class of electric multiple unit trains built by CAF and Siemens for the RENFE Cercanías commuter railway networks in Spain. The first units entered service in 2003.

The Civia train concept was created with passenger comfort and build quality in mind, and to meet the goals of reliability, frequency and punctuality. They have better provision for disabled passengers than older Cercanías trains.

Technical details

Civia units use 3 kV overhead AC electrification. The maximum speed of Civia units in service is 120 km/h, but with modifications they will be able to reach 160 km/h.
