Built between 1962 and 1967 by Alsthom and Ferrocarriles Vascongados, with GE involvement, this robust unit boasts a powerful 426 kW electric system operating on 1.5 kV DC.

Refurbished in the late 1980s, the UT-3150 features a Bo'Bo' wheel arrangement and a top speed of 70 km/h, making it well-suited for its operational environment.
