ETR 470 (ElettroTreno 470) is a high-speed tilting electric multiple unit, which is now only operated by the Greek company, Hellenic Train. Introduced in September 1996,[1] nine units were built for the Italo-Swiss firm Cisalpino. They were made by Fiat Ferroviaria[2] (now Alstom), and could tilt up to 8°. Today, there are five trains in Greece.[3]
Prior to their arrival in Greece, they performed services under the name Frecciabianca.[4]
