The CAF Talent 3 is a family of multiple-unit railcars designed by Bombardier Transportation and built by CAF. It descends from the Talent line that began in 1996, when Waggonfabrik Talbot in Aachen, Germany, built the first Talbot light regional multiple units. The Talent 3 is a further development of the Talent 2 and looks much like it, but unlike the German-only Talent 2 it was designed to meet European standards as well as German ones. The first unit was planned to enter service in 2019, but passenger runs did not begin until November 2020. In November 2021, when Alstom took over Bombardier, it sold the design rights for the Talent 3 to CAF to satisfy a directive from the European Commission, which moved the type from its original designer to the builder that produces it.
