The Fiat Materfer 7131 was an Argentine diesel multiple unit class, first produced in Italy by Fiat Ferroviaria and then licensed to the Argentine company Materfer, which kept manufacturing it. In 1958 the Argentine Ministry of Transport agreed with Fiat Ferroviaria to buy 210 new railcars, each formed of two units powered by a Fiat diesel engine of 660 horsepower and able to reach 115 km/h. The light cars replaced older rolling stock on the urban services of the Roca, Urquiza, Mitre and Sarmiento lines from the 1960s, and most were built in a dedicated factory at Ferreyra, Córdoba, called Materfer. After the privatisation of the Argentine railways in the early 1990s they were declared obsolete and replaced by lighter Materfer models, and they are commonly nicknamed Chanchas, Spanish for piggies.
