Well one product for the domestic have also huge problems:

Since the early 00's, manufacturer AnsaldoBreda is struggling to make the E403 multi-system electrics a reliable work horse. The project suffers from weight problems and other technical difficulties. Delivery of all 24 units still hasn't been completed, although first units were already outshopped and tested in 2006. They will never serve the purpose they were developed for; international freight services from Italy over the Alps.

TX Logistic is now the Trenitalia department operating trans-Alp services, but relying on Siemens and Bombardier products. During the past years, the E403 got tuned down (no 15kV AC capabilites anymore) and its service domain changed several times. Maybe it could have served a locomotives for high speed freight services over the Italian high speed lines for example. They got re-allocated from the Cargo division of Milan, to the passenger one in Naples because of this.

However, it seems there is finally coming an end to this saga. The E403s are now re-assigned to freight departments again and get a thorough overhaul at the workshops of Contact S.r.l. in Caserta. The first five units were assigned to the Naples freight yard of Maddaloni-Marcianise in January 2012. They are now used for domestic freight services (and under 3kV DC only..) on the Naples-Villa San Giovanni connection and from Naples to Bologna via Rome and Florence. During the first try's, a E403 was always supported by a E655 locomotive, like in the picture
