The Class 385 is an electric multiple unit being built by Hitachi Rail for Abellio ScotRail. A total of 70 units are planned to be built, divided into 46 three-car and 24 four-car sets. The new trains are being procured to operate services on newly electrified lines in the Central Belt on a mixture of both suburban and inter-urban routes. ==History== In October 2014, immediately after being awarded the ScotRail franchise, Abellio, a subsidiary of the Dutch national rail operator Nederlandse Spoorwegen, announced that it had concluded an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Hitachi Rail to procure 234 new EMU vehicles from its AT-200 product series for use on routes in Scotland that were being electrified. These new trains, which would be formed into a mix of three and four-car units, were intended to operate along the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line and the Croy Line, both of which are due to be electrified by 2018. The electrification programme, and purchase of new EMUs to operate services, will allow a subsequent cascade of the diesel multiple units currently used elsewhere on the network. The order for the new EMUs was the first operator-based purchase of a Hitachi product for use in the UK following the IEP procurement, and its subsequent construction of its new facility at Newton Aycliffe in County Durham. The bulk of the new fleet will be constructed there, with the first seven units being built at Hitachi's main factory in Kasado, Japan. Construction of the first units began in November 2015, with delivery due to begin from late 2016 and service entry scheduled for 2017.〔
