The Romanian 21-70 series coaches are second-class, compartmented passenger cars commonly used on medium- and long-distance routes in Romania, particularly for InterRegio trains. These coaches were initially produced in the 1980s-1990s and have undergone several rounds of modernization to meet current comfort and safety standards.
Key Features of the 21-70 Coaches:
Configuration and Comfort:
These are second-class, compartmented coaches with multiple compartments, each seating 6 passengers.
Seats are cushioned and more comfortable compared to standard second-class cars, designed for long-distance journeys.
Compartments feature face-to-face seating and increased legroom.
Facilities:
Ventilation systems or air conditioning, especially in modernized versions.
Adjustable windows for ventilation (in non-air-conditioned coaches).
Improved lighting, including reading lights for individual passengers in some models.
Some modernized versions have power outlets for charging electronic devices.
Capacity:
Approximately 60 seats, divided among the compartments.
Safety and Accessibility:
Equipped with emergency brake systems.
Manual or automatic doors, depending on the version.
Enclosed, eco-friendly toilets that comply with European standards for long-distance trains.
Usage:
Commonly deployed on InterRegio routes across Romania, catering to passenger comfort on medium and long journeys.
These coaches are popular for their relatively high level of comfort, making them preferable to standard second-class cars.
Historical Overview:

European Compliance: By the 2010s, the 21-70 coaches were further modernized to align with European standards, including safety and communication systems between compartments and train staff.
Current and Future Usage:
Medium and Long-Distance Routes: Primarily used on InterRegio trains, these coaches are designed to meet the needs of passengers on long-distance routes.
