In March 2015, the [[Ministry of the Interior and Transport|Ministry of Transport]] announced the purchase of [[Emepa Alerce|Alerce]] trains manufactured by the [[Emepa Group]], the first train completely built in Argentina, to run on the Belgrano Norte Line. A fleet of 20 [[diesel multiple unit]]s were to be built and put into operation as an express service covering the Retiro-[[Boulogne Sur Mer]] section, with only two intermediate stops, Ciudad Universitaria and Aristóbulo del Valle. For a second phase of the project, the service would be extended to Pilar. Construction of the first train was completed in the Grupo Emepa's workshops at [[Chascomús]] in March 2015.<ref>[http://www.telam.com.ar/notas/201503/99169-randazzo-tren-fabricacion-nacional-belgrano-norte.html "Randazzo presentó un nuevo tren de fabricación nacional"], Télam, 25 Mar 2015</ref><ref>[http://www.diariopopular.com.ar/notas/220551-randazzo-presento-alerce-el-primer-tren-0-km-nacional "Randazzo presentó "Alerce", el primer tren 0 km nacional"], Diario Popular, 25 Mar 2015</ref>
