The E217 series, introduced at the same time as the 209 series, features a lightweight stainless steel body with four doors, similar to the 209 series. The design of the high-performance operating cab, equipped with a crushable zone in the leading car, has been inherited by subsequent models such as the E231 series, 1000 series, E233 series, and E235 series. Along with its successor, the E235-1000 series, it is still in service today.
