CAF Sepia is a family of high-speed electric multiple unit trains built by CAF and used in Spain and Turkey. The Sepia is based on the Class 120 high-speed trains manufactured by CAF for the Renfe Operadora (Renfe). The Renfe Operadora was the first to order CAF high speed trains; it ordered 12 of these units in 2001, the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) 12 units. The trains were delivered in 2004 for service. The trains were labelled and marketed as the Sepia by their manufacturer, CAF.
