The 200 trains were built by a consortium of French manufacturer Alstom (then known as GEC Alsthom), ANF Industrie (which would be purchased by Bombardier in 1989 before the end of the deliveries), and Compagnie industrielle de matériel de transport (CIMT). The final assembly of the trains took place between 1988 and 1998.
They are part of the Z 2N series of trainsets, which were continuously improved over several generations.
