Trenord is a railway company which is responsible for the operation of regional and suburban passenger trains mainly in Lombardy. The company was established by the two main railway companies in Lombardy, Trenitalia and Ferrovie Nord Milano (FNM), to manage train operations in the region. The equity is equally divided between the two companies.
In 2023, the company provided service to about 190 million passengers, nearly 26 percent more than the 151 million in the previous year, reaching an average of more than 700,000 passengers on weekdays.
The first step of the new company was the opening of a new maintenance and cleaning center for trains in Lombardy, the biggest in Italy.
Trenitalia and LeNord rented their Lombardy regional trains divisions to the company on 30 October 2009 for 11 months. After this trial period the rent was extended to the end of 2010. After this date, the rent was again extended twice to 31 March and finally to 1 May 2011, when the company was renamed Trenord.
The last agreement included also the Trenitalia control over TiLo and the EuroCity service by LeNord in partnership with Deutsche Bahn and ÖBB, all merged into the new company.
In the 2010s there was a deficiency in rolling stock and personnel so the company took a massive investment in rolling stock and hired and trained lots of people.
As of December 2023, the Trenord rolling stock comprises:
As of early 2011, Trenord has started to replace some of the older rolling stocks (such as the Class ALn 668 railcar) with the newer Class ATR125. These newer trains include features such as through carriages, digital information display, air conditioning, and electronic door controls.
As of December 2023, the new rolling stock comprised 79 Caravaggios, 37 Donizzettis and 28 Colleonis.
