In October 2013 Belarusskaya Chygunka ordered two seven-car FLIRT EMUs with a top service speed of 200 km/h. The new trains will be destined for long distance services, creating essentially a new FLIRT G family, „G“ indicating that their bodyshell dimensions meet the GOST loading gauge. Assembly of both trains started in June 2015 at Stadler Minsk works and they are scheduled for handing over to BCh in 2016.
