The Sprinter New Generation (SNG) is an electric multiple unit train from the Dutch Railways or Nederlandse Spoorwegen. The trains are designed and built by the Spanish train builder Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), who bases the trains on the Civity platform. With a top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph), the trains are primarily intended to replace older train equipment (primarily the Urban Regional Material (NS SGMm) and the push-pull double decker DDM-1 carriages), but are also intended for the growth of the number of passengers on the Hoofdrailnet or main rail network.

The Sprinter New Generation is characterized by a spacious interior, with much light and space. This is achieved through the use of Jacobs bogies, resulting in wide-body and spacious transitions. The low floor makes the train easier to access for the disabled.
