Ferrocarril de Sóller No. 1 to 4 are electric railcars on Mallorca .

The Ferrocarril de Sóller (FS) procured for electric operation from 1929 four electric railcar type AAB FHV , by the companies Siemens (electrical part) and Carde y Escoriaza (mechanical part) were delivered. The FS included these four railcars as No. 1 to 4 in its portfolio. Since then they have been handling all traffic between Palma and Sóller .

In the meantime, the vehicles have been technically modernized, with great emphasis being placed on preserving the historical exterior. The wagons received u. a. a low voltage supply with 27 V, an electronic switchgear control, signal influencing systems, radio and speedometer with tachograph. These changes are only visible on the converter for the extra-low voltage, on the clogged windows in the middle of the car, the halogen headlights built into the old lamp housings and in the driver's cabs.
