The OSE Class 460 is the only line of electric trainsets (EMU) in Greece and, together with the 621 class, it is the second most recent series of railcars operated by TRAINOSE after the 3107 class. They are OSE rolling stock and belong to the Desiro Classic generation, while they were manufactured by Siemens in 2006. They come in line with the 660 class but their main difference is that the 460 is electric-powered with five coaches while the 660 is diesel-powered by two coaches but they have the same manufacturers and gauge.

Class 460 trainsets can be coupled to another trainset on a double coupling to form an EMU-10, controlled by the driver of the leading cab.[1] In total, there are 20 such trainsets, numbered 460 101/460 201 – 460 120/460 220. They have an electric engine and reach speeds of up to 180 km / h, and have a capacity of 304 people[2] Their weight is 150 tonnes.[3] The traction of the train is carried out by two pantographs that touch in aerial cables. Their voltage is 25 kV 50 Hz AC.[2]
